Chandra Nayudu, daughter of India's first Test captain CK Nayudu, broke gender barriers as India's first female cricket commentator in the 1970s. She captained Uttar Pradesh, played for her college, and commentated for Ranji Trophy and India-England Tests. Her pioneering role paved the way for women in sports broadcasting, inspiring voices like Mandira Bedi and Anjum Chopra.
