Had deepti

Former Sri Lanka: Former India captain Anjum Chopra praised Amanjot Kaur’s clutch knock in India’s remarkable victory against Sri Lanka in the Women’s World Cup opener, saying that she made her presence felt and it never seemed like she was playing her first-ever World Cup game.

All-rounders Amanjot, Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana rose to the occasion as the Women in Blue opened their campaign in style.

“For someone playing her first World Cup, and coming back after so many injuries, Amanjot absorbed the pressure remarkably well. That, for me, was the real difference. Even after offering a chance, she composed herself, scored a half-century, and built a 100-plus partnership with Deepti. That’s what defines good players, making their presence felt in big tournaments. I firmly believe Amanjot Kaur should be in India’s XI in any condition, because she brings temperament and solidity to the middle order," Anjum said on JioStar.
