International Women's Day: Shafali Verma inspires us

The Hindu  

Shafali Verma doesn’t like to talk much when she is at the nets. And now, as India chases its maiden T20 World Cup title, Shafali has been the highest run-getter for her side, with 163 runs from five innings to her kitty. A big fan of Sachin Tendulkar, Shafali was barely nine years old, when she visited Chaudhary Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium in Lahli for the first time. Late in 2013, Shafali got enrolled in the Shree Ram Narain Cricket Academy, but was not allowed to feature in the male-only tournaments.“The organisers felt that she would get hurt,” Sanjeev said. And this women’s day, we celebrate Shafali for her inspiring journey - from playing in the bylanes of Rohtak to featuring in a T20 World Cup final in Melbourne.
