The coronavirus pandemic has forced cricketers to sit at their homes and spend time with their family. In the meantime, they are engaging in different activities to pass the time. One such activity is interacting with fans on social media platforms.
Be it former or currently active players, everyone is trying to talk with fans and followers as most countries are facing a lockdown. Recently, India women T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur took to Twitter and engaged in a fun chat with her fans. Now, the incredibly talented Smriti Mandhana has also joined the club.
On Friday, Smriti ran a Question/Answer session on the microblogging website Twitter, where she responded to many queries asked by her fans.
A fan asked Smriti to name the toughest bowler she ever faced in international cricket.
