Shafali Verma Going Into Women’s T20 WC With Much-needed Mindset Upgrades
T20 World Cup: Since her international debut as a 15-year-old in 2019, Shafali Verma’s rise in the Indian team has been a sight to behold. Through her brute force and fearless big-hitting, a totally different style of play as compared to other India women batters, the opener from Rohtak has always delighted fans with her belligerent knocks.
By 2021, Shafali also became the youngest cricketer from India across genders to play all three formats internationally. But as is the case in top-flight cricket, there are ups and downs, with flaws in her batting coming to the fore. Bowlers outclassed Shafali with well-directed short balls cramping her for room, coinciding with a phase where her batting returns blowed hot and cold.
Now, five years on, on the cusp of playing her third T20 World Cup, Shafali tells what’s changed for her ever since she took the 2020 edition of the tournament by storm through her sizzling strokeplay. “In 2020, I used to hit on every ball and then it clicked at the start. But then, after some time, there is video analysis starting on your game and they start to see your whole game plan.”
