Meet the 10 female athletes who appeared in the Nike ad with Deepika Padukone

#9 Tanvie Hans

Tanvie Hans is literally one of the best football players to have come out of India

The state of Indian women’s football team cannot be called excellent. However, the case is different for Tanvie Hans, who became the first Indian women’s player to play in the Women’s Premier League when she was picked by the Tottenham Hotspur Women team.

Tanvie started her football career with the Vasant Valley School in Delhi, which was the first school in Delhi to have a women’s team. Tanvie’s love for football grew and she went to England after her schooling.

Tanvie played football there and understood that she needed to train more in order to get into a good side. Hence, she came back to India in 2012 and started training under her first coach.

This led to the Indian player getting selected for Tottenham’s Ladies side in 2013. She has since been playing for their third team an attacking winger. In the video though, Tanvie looks focussed and is scoring goals for fun. She is an inspiration to the budding players who want to take up football as a professional.
