Gurugram: Two-season aged in Cricket International, Shafali VERMA 17 years fully realized the need to increase constantly and focus on the tweaking of the short ball game against the Bowler quickly.
After making India’s debut as a 15-year-old miracle, Shafali has come a long way over the past 24 months and with the elegant Mandhana Smriti, forming one of the most explosive opening pairs in the cricket of women.
He has played several tests, Six Odis and 28 T20 Internationals since his debut in the shortest format in September 2019, quite exposure to Team Teams such as Australia and England to work on the game.
On a tour of England and Australia this year, Shafali was seasoned with a short ball and he didn’t look very comfortable against them.
To get better towards the ball that rises, Shafali faces 200-250 balls from the U-25 male player, which can be 125-130 kmps at Shri Ram Narain Cricket Academy in Gurugram under the amazing eyes of the coach Ashwani Kumar.
“It feels fun that I have been able to finish two years in international cricket but there is a long way to go.
I know the field of my game, I need to be better and one of them plays a short ball,” Shafali told PTI after being named the Hyundai brand ambassador here .
“The coaches have also told me to play according to the ball and I will continue to do that.
I will never change my game,” said a teenager who returned home after the female intermediary in the Women’s Bash League in Australia.
During the British and Australian series, Shafali was seen retreating to the short ball and the approach took the mixture of mixtures.
The coaches at the Academy made him play a short ball on cement, astroturf and normal goal.
In addition to negotiating the high speed of the U-25 men’s Cricketers, Shafali also faced redness to cover all the bases.
“I will not retreat so much ahead.
You will see me dragging more folds and playing according to excess balls,” Shafali said who also worked hard on his fitness.
Having a very little playing experience of playing Red Ball Cricket, Shafali also looked at home when he made a test debut against England in June.
He hit 96 unforgettable in the first round, a knock that would always stay special for him.
With three fifty plus scores in four innings, he had started a dream in a five-day format.
However, the same thing could not be said about Six Odis which he played this year and also did not have consistency in T20 in Australia and England.
His coach Ashwani Kumar felt Shafali would only be better with time and experience.
“We must not forget that he is still 17.
His dream test debut shows that he has received the technique needed to succeed at the highest level.” In a shorter format, where there is a scoreboard pressure, you must be very fast with you thinking and that’s where he needs to increase a little.
When he plays for India, you will see it just get better, “he said.
Speaking for about two years in Cricket International, Shafali felt he had learned something new with every match and grateful to test cricket.” Cricket, I have to learn more than I think, especially patience.
This is the best format and it is a dream that came true for me.
“I just liked the beat of my first test (96), I felt very good there and I played much better than I thought.
The clothes will always stay special.” Most players in the test squad, including Shafali, have little experience with red balls because multi-day cricket is not part of domestic settings.
At the World Cup to come in New Zealand, the plan is simple.
“I just want to be fit and work hard on my game and help India wins.
I hope I will inspire more girls to play games.
Two seasons in international cricket are very good for me.
My approach is to learn something new from every game and increase it too.” Has a lot of praise for Senior Partners Smriti Mandhana.
“He always supports me and beyond the field, tells me to play my natural game and every time I fight in the middle, he always helps me improve my shortcomings.” …
if I struggle against a particular bowler, he will tell me ‘take one and give a strike to me’.
It’s great that I have a batting partner like him.
