A physical education teacher, a forest officer, a police woman and a district sports officer scripted history for India in a sport that never made news as such in the country before August 2, 2022 -- lawn bowls. Four women from the country, coming from diverse backgrounds from different parts of India went on to win a historic gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and became the toast of the nation.
Pinki, Nayanmoni Saikia, Lovely Choubey and Rupa Rani Tirkey formed the quartet of India's Women's Fours team that defeated South Africa 17-10 in the final amid historic scenes at the bowling greens of Victoria Park.
