The world's most glamorous cricket commentator Grace Hayden opens up to her fans in a VERY revealing Q&A

Published: | Updated:
Aussie sports broadcaster Grace Hayden has opened up on her love of travel and where she plans to head next as she heads home from forging a highly successful cricket commentary career in India.
The 23-year-old, who is the daughter of Australian cricket legend Matthew Hayden, took a moment to answer questions from fans while returning from covering cricket in the subcontinent.
Since landing a breakout gig as Channel Seven's Oaks Day Ambassador in 2022, she has built an excellent resume and travelled many miles for work.
One fan asked how Hayden managed being away from home for such long periods of time.
Hayden responded: 'Look I love to travel and always have and I'm so lucky my job takes me to so many incredible places all around the world.
'I think you have to love what you do, have a good understanding support network of friends and family because not everyday will be easy, and learn to embrace the place you are & find parts of home when you are away from home.'

Hayden, who has often spoken about her love of Indian culture, was asked what she thought of the Delhi Premier League.
Hayden replied: 'Sensation! What a fantastic tournament! Excitement was guaranteed every game.'
The rising star in sports media then revealed where her next stop would be.
'Straight off the plane and to the media launch of @australianturfclub spring carnival,' she wrote.
And after that, Hayden says she will be travelling to the 'Melbourne Cup of the outback' the iconic Birdsville Races - held on the first Friday and Saturday of September.
Another fan wanted to know how Hayden maintains such a glowing complexion.
Hayden replied: 'To be honest it's a constant battle when I wear makeup most days for work. But all I can suggest is having a good skincare routine - for me when I'm home in Aus I try to have regular skin treatments with @rationale and @beautyboostclinic plus I use all @rationale skincare products and I'm loving the @drdennisgross led mask from @meccabeauty.'
Hayden recently launched a video podcast called Game On With Grace, where she aims to introduce cricket to a broader US audience through engaging stories, conversations, and personalities.

Cricket has long struggled to gain traction in the US, but Grace's podcast signals a modern, media-savvy approach to breaking through in a competitive sporting landscape.
She hopes to bridge the gap between the cricketing world and American viewers by showcasing the sport's energy, global appeal and human stories.
Grace's father, Matthew Hayden, was one of Australia's most dominant opening batsmen, playing 103 Tests and scoring over 8,000 runs.
Her debut guest was Adam Gilchrist, a fellow Australian cricket great and one of the most iconic wicketkeeper-batsmen in history.
Together, Gilchrist and Hayden helped Australia dominate world cricket in the early 2000s, and now their legacy continues through Grace and her groundbreaking podcast.
'Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports' untold stories,' Grace said.
'I grew up in cricket's front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera.
'Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness.
'I can't wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.'
While cricket is already gaining some ground in the US with the launch of Major League Cricket, Grace's podcast adds a much-needed storytelling and cultural dimension.
By combining star power, youthful energy, and cross-cultural connection, she hopes to play a vital role in making cricket resonate with a new American audience.
