VISAKHAPATNAM: India’s young spinner Vaishnavi Sharma is keen to build on a promising start to her international career and establish herself as a regular in the team’s white-ball plans.
The 20-year-old made her senior India debut against Sri Lanka in Vizag on Sunday and delivered a tidy performance in the opening match of the series. Vaishnavi bowled an economical four-over spell, registering 0/16 at an economy of 4, in India’s dominant eight-wicket win, keeping the Sri Lankan batters in check throughout her spell.
Although she did not claim a wicket, the 20-year-old impressed with her control and discipline, conceding no boundaries against a strong Sri Lankan batting line-up. She looked composed on debut at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium and slotted seamlessly into the side.
