What helped her further was that she bowled in the right areas taking wickets. She bowled at the same spot consistently which helped her to take all wickets. She also got all the opponents out with either leg before wicket or clean bowled. She ticked all those boxes including a hattrick, 10 wicket haul, highest scorer, and led as captain very well which made her a complete cricketer.
The teenager had previously played for Punjab at the U-14, U-16 and U-19 levels. However, she turned to Chandigarh this season and has taken a total of 63 wickets in U-23 and U-19 cricket. She had taken a hat-trick against Arunachal Pradesh in BCCI U-23 T20 Trophy too. Six of her wickets on Tuesday were LBWs while the other four were bowled. Her feats in all these matches are saying that she can be the new gem for Indian Woman Cricket at international levels.
