India's triumph over Pakistan in the final of the first-ever ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2007 drew not only worldwide attention towards T20 cricket but also led to the creation of the Indian Premier League by the BCCI a year later. With the further introduction of leagues around the world, the shortest format has taken the center stage given it is just a three-hour spectacle, unlike One-Day Internationals.

Down Under, Cricket Australia moved a step further and staged Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) alongside the Big Bash League, for both locals and overseas players. The England Cricket Board (ECB), in an attempt to water the same garden, started Kia Super League (KSL) shortly. In an exclusive interaction with ANI, star players Suzie Bates, Danielle Wyatt, Stafanie Taylor, Sophie Devine, Dane van Niekerk, and Marizanne Kapp, shared not only how these tournaments developed their games but also revealed that a full-fledged IPL-style women's league is long overdue.
