Aggressive batter Shefali Verma will debut in one day match against England

The Indian women’s cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where the team has played one test match. After seven years, the Indian women’s team is playing its first Test match, in which she performed brilliantly and got the test match drawn and now the team’s eyes are on repeating the same performance in the limited overs series as well. The Indian women’s team would look to put up a scintillating performance against strong world champions England in the first match of the three-match ODI series starting here on Sunday, with youngster Shafali Verma all set to make her ODI debut.

Shafali Verma has played 22 T20 International matches so far. This 17-year-old batsman has attracted world cricket towards her with her performance. But Shefali was not picked for the last home series against the South African women’s team, in which India suffered a humiliating defeat. The team would like to compensate for the previous series with a great performance in this series. The Indian team lost 1-4 to South Africa. Shefali had scored 96 and 63 in her Test debut against England last week.

The Indian team lost 1-4 to South Africa and there was a lot of ruckus about Shafali’s ouster in that series. However, now the team management will not make any such mistake. Shafali had scored 96 and 63 in Tests against England last week. His explosive batting is certainly very important for the Indian team. Barring vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur, there are no impressive players in the team and she is also not in her best form.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
