Controversy Insider: Who is Anaya Bangar - Transwoman Cricketer Exposes the Dark Truth of Indian Cricketers?

The 23-year-old daughter of former Indian cricket player Sanjay Bangar, Anaya Bangar, has made headlines after she disclosed the difficult and unwelcoming environment she experienced in the Indian cricket scene while undergoing her gender transition. Anaya, a transgender woman who was formerly known as Aryan Bangar, has chronicled her personal experience on social media sites like Instagram and YouTube.

In an interview with Lallantop, Anaya claimed to have “played with some well-known cricketers now like Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal.” She stated, "I had to maintain secrecy about myself because dad is a well-known figure," in a video clip that she posted to Instagram. The world of cricket is rife with toxic masculinity and insecurity. She detailed incidents of verbal abuse and said that certain cricket players had sent her offensive images. She further claimed that a seasoned cricket player had asked her to have sex with him. Anaya stated in an interview that while there has been some harassment, there has also been support.

Anaya's career has been greatly impacted by gender transition, especially in cricket. She has been outspoken in her criticism of professional sports' lack of transgender-inclusive regulations. She is still devoted to cricket in spite of the difficulties, and she has urged lawmakers to enact laws that let athletes follow their passions without sacrificing who they are.

A few cricket players have given me naked photos of themselves at random, she said, sharing her experience. She claimed that she had once been abused in public by someone. According to her, the same individual would then frequently sit next to me and request my pictures. Anaya wrote on Instagram that she was disappointed by the ICC's new regulation that prohibits transgender athletes from playing women's international cricket. Previously known as Aryan Bangar, the son of former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar, Anaya is a well-known cricket player and social media personality.
