Komal Zanzad's association with cricket was no less than a fairy tale. She started playing cricket at the age of 15 when she went to the WCL Ground in Nagpur and came to know that women's cricket existed. Before that, she had no idea about women's cricket.
In her childhood, Komal used to watch the boys playing cricket in her colony and formed a liking for the game. She grew up shattering the window panes of her neighbours while playing gully cricket in her locality.
Soon, she found her calling and love for pace bowling and enrolled at a summer camp at Shree Binzani City College ground. She was 13 years old at that time and was the only girl at the camp.
