Smriti Mandhana the sensational Indian woman cricketer is now having a terrific season in the ongoing KIA Super League in
. The 22-year-old has smashed 387 runs in seven innings in an average of 77.40 and in an incredible strike rate of 185.16 for Western Storm. In her runs tally she has scored two half centuries and a century.
Mandhana's red hot form in KIA Super League guided her to record an 18 ball fifty, the fastest half century in the women cricket history and equaled the record of Sophie Devine. So far she has struck 21 sixes in the tournament and leading the chart for most number of sixes in the tournament.
Recently she opened up about her achievement, said, "After last year's World Cup, I worked hard on my batting and fitness levels. This has helped me in achieving consistent form."
The left handed opener also said about changes in her techniques, "A minor change in grip, and a slightly more open stance are the two changes I made. It has helped me with my stroke-making and has also helped me clear the in-field easily. I'm feeling more confident with this."
As she regained her form, this could be a vital thing for the Indian Women team ahead of the ICC T20I World cup in
later this year. She also feels confident about her form in the ICC event. Mandhana said,"I will try my best. Our team is working hard towards it, and the BCCI has organized camps and tours. It has provided us with enough match practice. We can plan accordingly for the T20I World Cup."
"Nevertheless, my best is yet to come, and I have to keep improving myself and keep pushing. Scoring runs for my country and being consistent is what I always aspire to do. I hope my runs result in wins for the team. If I score a ton or a fifty in the process, that's a bonus" she further added.
