Challenging the status-quo in Cricket, four Indian superstars confirm participation in India's first-ever mixed-gender T20 match

Shattering gender borders in Cricket, four Indian cricketers - Virat Kohli, Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy - have confirmed their participation in a mixed-gender T20 exhibition match, scheduled to be held after the ICC Men's World Cup 2019.

As a part of closing the gap between women's game and the men's game of Cricket (still known as the gentleman's game) in terms of benefits, popularity and reach to consumers, a campaign called 'rcchallengeaccepted.com' has been launched. 

This campaign aims at 'challenging the status-quo in cricket with India's first-ever mixed gender T20 match'. The four cricketers along with the rest of the players of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have confirmed to feature in this exhibition match. Other player participation has not been confirmed yet.

Twitterati have rallied behind showing their support with 79% voting 'Yes' for the event as of Thursday.
