KOCHI: Over a decade ago, a tribal girl from the foothills of Mananthavady in Wayanad district of Kerala decided to take the road less travelled and hoped to make a living from the game she held close to her heart, cricket. On Tuesday, 23-year-old Minnu Mani took a big step towards realizing her dream when she was picked up at the auctions of the inaugural Women’s Premier League in Mumbai by Delhi Capitals for Rs 30 lakhs.
“I haven’t seen Rs 30 lakh ever in my life. I can’t describe my emotions right now,” Minnu told TOI from Hyderabad, where she is representing South Zone in the inter-zone tournament.
