“I do speak a bit of Bengali.” — Isa Guha Quote

I do speak a bit of Bengali.

Just having the support from the male players is important as the women's game moves forward.

From playing cricket in a boys team I had to learn quite quickly how to handle them and I've always felt quite comfortable in that environment. Because I feel comfortable, I'd like to think they do too.

In Twenty20, because of the pace of the game, everyone is constantly involved in the field, you have to work as a team covering each other, there's no time to take your eye off the ball.

To people who don't take women's cricket seriously, I'd say: just watch a game first, and then make your judgement.

What I like about Calcutta is the food. I like simple Bengali food like dal, shukto, fish, and mutton.

I think from 'Hemanta' to 'Eagler Chokh' and 'Natoker Mato' in between, there has been Shakespearean touch in Bengali films and that is because Bengalis are hooked to theater.

I like all kinds of food, but if I had to choose a favourite Indian cuisine, it would absolutely be Bengali! I love things like masoor dal with begun bhaja - or any type of bhaja, really - machher jhol, bhapa chingri. And how can you beat gorom, gorom rosogolla?

I was born in Bangalore but grew up in Kolkata and I read, write and speak Bengali.
