Harmanpreet Kaur: The Captain Courageous
Captain of the Indian team, Harmanpreet Kaur is a match-winner. Her innings of unbeaten 171 in the 2017 World Cup pointed to her being one of those few great match-winners. She has command and experience behind her, which would send a message to the team during the grueling matches.
Smriti Mandhana: The Match-Winner Opener
The very consistent batter for India, Smriti Mandhana, will play a very important role in making sure that the batting lineup of India is well-studded with substantial players. She is known for her elegant stroke play along with her quick scoring ability as she keeps coming up with crucial scores in all pressure situations. Whichever form she follows might decide whether India sets up or chases the big totals.
Shafali Verma: The Fearless Prodigy
The sensational Shafali Verma has already caused enough waves with her aggressive batting style. Her fearless approach to the top can cause even the best bowling attacks and sleepless nights, and for that reason alone, she is a vital player for India. When she explodes, starts are what India will sorely require.
Deepti Sharma: The Versatile All-Rounder
Deepti Sharma is one of India’s most priceless all-rounder, both for bat and ball. Her off-spin bowling breaks partnerships effectively while her lower-order batting provides depth to the lineup.
Renuka Singh Thakur: The Pace Sensation
She emerged as an important player for India, who can bowl short of length by swinging the ball and packing early blows. Sharp accuracy and the knack for dismantling top-order batters are of great importance in dispatching the fast tracks of the UAE as she leads India’s pace attack.
