After sensational beginning, experts believe 16-year-old Shafali Verma needs to up the game

India TV News  

With her big-hitting prowess, a rarity in women's cricket, 16-year-old Shafali Verma was bound to succeed at the highest level. Besides Ratra, Verma's strokeplay in the practice session also impressed India coach W V Raman. Seeing Verma take the best of the bowlers to the cleaners in Australia was hardly a surpise for her coach Ashwani Kumar, who runs the Shri Ram Narain Cricket Club in Rohtak. Former India captain Shantha Rangaswamy too is mightily impressed by Verma's showing in Australia but also picked out the areas of improvement in her game, mainly her fitness. Both Ashwani and Ratra also feel that Verma needs to improve her agility, which would make her a better runner between the wickets and a much improved fielder.
