Against Zimbabwe, Vaishnavi has underlined her growing promise

Returning to the fifty-over squad following an eight-month absence, twenty-year-old spinner Vaishnavi Sharma delivered a stellar performance during the second match of the series against Zimbabwe in Vadodara. The slow bowler recorded figures of four wickets for thirty-nine runs from ten overs, helping restrict the opposition to two hundred seven runs and securing a one hundred twenty-one run victory alongside an unassailable two-nil series lead.

Senior teammates Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma contributed centuries with the bat, while captain Smriti Mandhana lauded the young bowler's tactical awareness and variation before inviting her to lead the squad off the field.
