The aggressive Indian opener was part of the recently concluded Women’s T20 World Cup in Australia. India reached the finals of the tournament before being comprehensively beaten by the hosts.
Prior to the multilateral tournament, India also featured in the Women’s T20 Tri-series, along with Australia and England. India also failed to win the tri-series, losing out to Australia in the finals.
However, there was a silver lining for the young Indian squad, which took part in the competition. The blue brigade reached the finals of the tournament without any notable contribution for their batting mainstays Harmanpreet Kaur and Mandhana.
India women’s team was scheduled to tour England before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak suspended all cricketing action indefinitely.
