Mumbai-based content creator and former national-level athlete Sameeksha Takke, popularly known as the 'Atrangi Womaniya' of social media, is currently in England covering the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. She is offering fans a glimpse into the tournament that extends far beyond the action on the field.
Background and Experience
A former competitive cricketer with over a decade of experience, Takke trained at the same grounds that produced stalwarts Sachin Tendulkar and Ajinkya Rahane. Her work with Star Sports during multiple IPL seasons and as host of Mumbai Indians' digital show MI Live has helped establish her as a respected voice in cricket content.
Exclusive Access and Content
At the World Cup, Takke is leveraging that credibility to gain rare access to some of the game's biggest stars. Her videos range from candid conversations with Jemimah Rodrigues and interactions with Australian veteran Ellyse Perry to trend-based content featuring all the participating captains. Through childhood memories, behind-the-scenes moments and light-hearted challenges, Takke is presenting players as personalities beyond their statistics.
India-Pakistan Clash Coverage
She was also present at Edgbaston for the high-profile India-Pakistan clash, where Smriti Mandhana's 68 and Deepti Sharma's historic five-wicket haul powered India to a commanding 64-run victory. While the scorecard captured the result, Takke's content focused on the atmosphere, emotions and stories surrounding one of the tournament's marquee encounters.
Future Collaborations
With upcoming collaborations involving Harmanpreet Kaur, Radha Yadav, Hayley Matthews, Lauren Bell and Shreyanka Patil, Takke is building what could become one of the most comprehensive and intimate digital chronicles of a Women's World Cup by an Indian creator. This effort is helping bring women's cricket and its personalities closer to fans around the world.
