Getting Last-minute Chance To Play In WC Was All God’s Plan: Shafali
Head Coach Amol Muzumdar: India batter Shafali Verma reflected on her dramatic return to the national set-up and playing a key role in the side winning 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, saying that the last-minute chance to play in the mega event was all a part of God’s plan for her.
At the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday, Shafali finished as India's highest scorer in the final by making 87 and also picked up two wickets to pick Player of the Match award in India’s epochal 52-run win over South Africa. It completed a stunning turnaround for Shafali, who was drafted in the squad only last week as a replacement for injured Pratika Rawal.
"When I got the call before the semi-final, I was honestly just shocked and super happy. Getting a last-minute chance like that doesn’t happen often. I told myself to keep things simple and enjoy the moment. Scoring runs and taking wickets in the final felt like a dream come true. I really believe this was all God’s plan," said Shafali on JioStar.
