Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar also took this opportunity to laud the efforts of BCCI for arranging the WPL. He tweeted, "As the@wplt20 begins, let's remember that every boundary will be broken & hit out of the park for a six, and every wicket is going to be a victory for gender equality in cricket.
