1) What would you like to say about the recent performance of the Indian women’s cricket team, in which Team India first won the T20 series in England.
Anjum: I liked it very much. I think the way the girls played in the T20 series. In the first T20, when Smriti scored in the century. Then in the next T20 when the situation was a bit bad, Amjhot Kaur And Gemimah rhodrigs A partnership. Then Radha Yadav There was also a good magic. Shefali also performed well. It seemed as if every player played responsibly and tried his best to win the team. It was good to see this view of the Indian team in T20.
2) Shafali Verma was out of the Indian team since October 2024, but after a brilliant performance in domestic cricket and WPL, he was called back to the team for the 2025 England T20I series. His performance in the recent series against England was good, especially in the previous T20I, in which he played a brilliant innings of 75 runs. How do you see the return of Shuffli?
Anjum: Shafali’s confidence must have increased. In the first two matches, she was playing well, but got out early. But in the previous matches, he showed good stability in his batting. So she must be feeling good now. This confidence will definitely help for the upcoming season and matches. When a player makes a comeback, he feels that he is debuting again and wants to have immediate effect. I am sure she is working hard on her game. If she continues to play well and the Indian team also performs well, it will be a very good sign for Indian cricket.
3) There are many things about Smriti Madhana. Mandhana scored the century in the first match. With this, Mandhana made history by becoming the first Indian female cricketer to score in the centenary in all formats of international cricket.

When that score runs, the Indian team definitely benefit. In addition, its influence is clearly visible on anti -teams. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that it is very important for Smriti to score continuously. The more she maintains her dominance in international cricket, the better it would be to and the Indian team.
4) Mr. Charani is recently in the news. He has so far taken only five t20 wickets internationally, including four wickets in the initial match against England. What is your opinion about this young bowler?
Anjum: Sri Charani has used his opportunities well and has a great impact, especially since he is not the only spinner in the team. He is in competition with players like Deepti, Radha and Sneh RanaNevertheless, he is completely focused in his bowling and full of confidence. His bowling improvement is clearly visible in every match. In the first phase of the tour of England, he was awarded the Player of the Series and took ten wickets, which is commendable. It was even better to see a bowler in the T20 series receiving the Player of the Series Award. All this is a very good sign for the Indian team and Indian cricket.
