Nine members of Krishnamurthy's family battled the disease and her mother and sister passed away within two weeks of each other last month in Karnataka. "I'm a big believer in what destiny holds for you, but I really hoped that my sister would come back home. All of us were broken to pieces," Krishnamurthy told ESPNcricinfo in a lengthy post detailing her trauma. What I had to do in those testing couple of weeks was learn to tune myself out of my grief. Krishnamurthy revealed that she has dealt with mental health issues of her own in the past and called for a structured support system for those in need.
