Indian women’s cricket team star bowler Poonam Yadav had a tremendous T20 World Cup, which recently took place in Australia. She went on to grab 10 scalps and finished at second place in the leading wicket-takers list. Her incredible show helped ‘Women in Blue’ to reach their maiden T20 WC final.
A few hours back, Poonam ran a ‘Q/A’ session with her fans on Twitter, where she interacted with her followers and also responded to their queries.
A fan asked the leg-spinner who she thinks has the ability to hit a double century in women’s cricket.
