With women across the world participating in the #SareeTwitter challenge on Twitter, someone recently shared the video of a saree-clad woman running inside a cricket field with the match still underway.
A comment on the video tells us that it was an India vs West Indies match from 1975 and the venue was Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
