Akshara Gupta, female Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, overjoyed after meeting Rohit Sharma

Rising cricket talent Akshara Gupta recently sought guidance from veteran batter Rohit Sharma. The 15-year-old, who gained notoriety for a 306-run unbeaten knock and a subsequent 164-run performance in age-group tournaments, shared that the exchange provided her with valuable perspective on the mental requirements of professional play.

This meeting occurred following a difficult run for the Bihar Under-19 women's squad, which failed to secure a victory during their five appearances in the Women's Under-19 Elite T20 Trophy. Gupta is frequently compared to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi due to her aggressive scoring style and high-impact innings.
