Highly rated India all-rounder creates national record with wickets off her first two international deliveries

Twenty-one year old all-rounder Niki Prasad wrote her name into the history books by claiming two wickets on her very first deliveries in international T20 competition. The emerging talent became the sole Indian representative to ever accomplish the feat, dismissing Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano via a catch behind before trapping Nyasha Gwanzura lbw for a duck during her maiden bowling spell.

Her impact for the national squad extends beyond her bowling prowess, as she previously anchored a successful run chase on debut with an unbeaten 39 runs after her side stumbled early. Having secured a contract with the Delhi Capitals for the Women's Premier League, the young competitor continues to demonstrate strong form across multiple formats, following prolific performances for Karnataka and during recent fixtures against Australia A.
