Last month, the Indian women’s cricket team fell short in front of a large MCG audience. The occasion was the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final, and they were with Australia Women cricket team. Although the Indian Women cricket team lost in the final, they proved to be on the right side. Until the end, India’s Women were unbeaten throughout the tournament. They had defeated Australian Women cricket in the first match of the event.
During this tournament, if a player who shines for India, it is the young batting side opener named Shafali Verma. The Haryana player scored 163 runs from 15 innings. She is the fifth-highest run-getter in the World Cup and the highest run-scorer for the Indian team.

Shafali Verma Shares Her Experience Of Reaching The Feat:
In a recent interview, the youngster revealed that she had received a huge welcome when she returned to her hometown, Rohtak after the T20 World Cup final. She said it was like a dream to her and she would cherish that moment forever.
“I will never forget my welcome at my home in Rohtak. There were dhols and music. My relatives embraced me with wands. I felt extraordinary. It was like a dream after a special tournament.” I’m eager to get back on the ground, but now it’s not possible due to the coronavirus outbreak, “she said in an interview.” Not everyone is lucky to play in the World Cup with the best cricketers. Even at such a young age, I had a chance,” Shafali said.
If not for the COVID-19 situation, Verma is now playing the women’s domestic one-day tournament at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. “I’m very excited to play in that huge stadium, but I don’t know when it will start. The BCCI office also closed. So, waiting for that,” Shafali said.
