Shafali Verma debuted for the Indian women’s cricket team against South Africa in a WT20I match on 24 September 2019.

The Indian Women’s cricket team is full of promising players. They play with courage and have a fearless attitude. This energy that surrounds the team is credited to the Indian Women’s cricket team captain, Harmanpreet Kaur. Harmanpreet leads the team with full aggression and takes accountability for the team’s losses and the mistakes that her teammates make. She guided India to a successful silver medal in the Commonwealth Games, emerging as the runner-up after losing to the mighty Australian women’s cricket team.

Although the Indian women’s cricket team has seen their legendary senior players, such as former Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj, who formed a vital core of the team’s batting lineup, has led to the arrival and rise of the young and promising female cricketers such as Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues. The current Indian team hosts a number of all-rounders who form a significant group during limited-overs games. Also, with so many batters with high strike rates, such as Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma, the Indian team can probably defeat the invincible-looking Australian women’s cricket team and lift a World cup trophy in the upcoming years.
