Dream Comes True, Says Priya Mishra Picked By Gujarat Giants
Priya Mishra, a leg-break bowler and right-hand bat from New Delhi, spent most of her formative years toiling under the hot sun before the Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants came calling at the WPL auction ahead of the second season of the tournament. “When I started playing, my day used to begin at 5 a.m., and my father used to take me for training. There were a lot of times when we had no money, so I had to go for training by foot,” said the teenager.
During the auction in Mumbai, when it was confirmed, Priya would be a part of the dressing room with Mithali Raj, an idol for every woman cricketer in India, her parents were understandably emotional. “We are happy Priya’s professional career is kick-starting at such a high level. We are grateful for this fortune and to be a part of our daughter’s journey,” said Sandeep Mishra, her father.
