WPL 2024: 'I Just Played The Ball On Merit, My Natural Game', Says Kiran Navgire
Kiran Navgire: After slamming a match-winning half-century against Mumbai Indians to give UP Warriorz their first win of 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL), batter Kiran Navgire said she stuck to playing the ball on merit and brought out her natural game in her sudden promotion to opening the batting.
While restricting Mumbai Indians to 161/6, Warriorz’ designated opener Vrinda Dinesh suffered a freak shoulder injury while fielding in the 14th over, which meant Kiran had to open the batting alongside captain Alyssa Healy.
It was a role Kiran was previously familiar with – having opened for Nagaland and Maharashtra in domestic cricket, where she made runs for fun. Kiran made her promotion count by smashing an eye-catching 31-ball 57, laced with six fours and four sixes, setting the base for the Warriorz’ getting a seven-wicket win.
