T20 World Cup: After becoming the youngest debutant in the history of Women’s Premier League (WPL) by playing for Mumbai Indians against Gujarat Giants, G Kamalini said the first ball she hit for a boundary in the successful chase of 120 turned out to be exciting for her.

At 16 years and 213 days, Kamalini not only became the youngest WPL player - she also becomes the youngest player ever to feature for Mumbai Indians across all its five franchise T20 teams in the world.

On her first ball, Kamalini, who won the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup with the Indian team last month in Malaysia, got off the mark with a well-timed cut off leg-spinner Priya Mishra to pick a boundary with ease.
