Baseball in India is governed by the Amateur Baseball Federation of India, which conducts national championships and selects players for international fixtures. The women's national programme has competed in regional events such as the Asian Baseball Championship and the West Asia Baseball Cup. Indian players in this discipline typically come through state-level associations and university competitions, given the absence of a professional league structure in the country.
As an Indian baseball player, Muralinath is part of a niche cohort of athletes contributing to the development of the sport in India, where cricket dominates the sporting landscape. The visibility of such players is important for the gradual expansion of baseball at the school, college and state-association levels.
