Shafali Verma
100% Cricket Superstar
After arriving on the international scene at just 15, Shafali has come to be admired for her ‘all-or-nothing’ approach. Her fearless brand of cricket was the perfect fit for India, at a time when they were desperately looking for an opener who can make full use of the powerplay and Shafali does just that with her flamboyant strokeplay.
Her ability to clear not just the ropes, but the ground, sets her apart.
Under her captaincy, India lifted the inaugural ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023 where she was also named in the ICC Team of the Tournament. Shafali reached the number one spot in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings for Batters in 2020.
