Women and the gentleman's game

Cricket has always been known as a gentleman's game. But this 

IPL

 season, the women are grabbing

eyeballs on the field as well. Female leads of Star Plus like
Sandhya

 from Diya Aur Baati Hum, Pankhuri (Disha Parmar) from Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Kumud from 

Saraswatichandra

 appeared during the matches to give away 

the Nayi Soch awards

 to the cricketers. While Sandhya (Deepika Singh) presented an award to 

Ricky Ponting

, regular housewife Doyel Sarangi got the opportunity to present it to captain cool MS Dhoni.

Says Sandhya, "This has been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. It is truly an inspiring moment for me to be able to bestow honour on the biggest names from international cricket."

Says Pankhuri, "My father called to say that watching me among cricketers, presenting them with the award, has made him a very proud father."
