Bumble's new study highlights that since cricket is often seen as a male-dominated sport, women feel left out as far as their conventional knowledge about it is concerned.
The report said that 71 per cent of women admit to 'finding themselves being mansplained during social conversations (parties, gatherings, events, etc.) about cricket.'
"Mansplaining in sports reflects on everyday sexism and gender biases and is often overlooked. No matter the intention behind it, it is harmful. While you enjoy the matches, don’t offer to explain any rule or strategy unless asked. If you’re asked then explain briefly, free of stereotypes and jibes. It’s important to set clear boundaries to forge healthy and equitable relationships," Samarpita Samaddar, India Communications Director, Bumble was quoted as saying in the report.
