Having spent almost nine years with the BCCI, Rajal Arora now oversees the intricate world of the Indian cricket team’s social media. Her adept handling of the team’s digital presence has not only elevated the fan engagement but has also brought a modern touch to the traditional sport. In an era where social media plays a pivotal role in shaping public perception, Rajal’s role in bridging the gap between the players and fans is indispensable.
Beyond her responsibilities in the realm of social media, Rajal Arora dons another crucial hat at BCCI. As the head of the internal complaint committee, she assumes a pivotal role in addressing and overseeing complaints related to players’ behavior. This dual responsibility showcases her versatility and demonstrates that she is not merely a trendsetter in the digital space but also a guardian of ethical conduct within the cricketing organization.
Rajal’s early passion for sports, including basketball and shooting games during her school days, adds an extra layer to her connection with the sporting world. Her Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, where she goes by the username ‘Rajal Arora,’ boast a significant following, reflecting her influence both within and outside the cricketing community.
The social media-savvy Arora shares more than just professional ties with the players. Her Instagram offers glimpses into her personal connections with notable mentions of her close bond with Indian wicketkeeper KL Rahul’s wife, Athiya Shetty. The camaraderie shared with players like KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, and Ishant Sharma is evident from the candid moments captured and shared on her social media accounts.
In a sport where women have predominantly been associated with the role of cheerleaders or spectators, Rajal Arora breaks the mold. Her journey from a content writer to the only female support staff member in the Indian men’s cricket team serves as an inspiration for aspiring women in sports administration.
