In a landmark decision, the BCCI on Thursday announced equal match fees for its centrally-contracted female and male players in a bid to tackle gender discrimination. The move was welcomed and celebrated by many on social media. 

Commenting on the move, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who also co-owns an IPL team tweeted, "What a good front foot shot. Sports being such an equaliser ( in  more ways than one ) hoping it will pave the way for others to follow."
