Top cricketers from India, including Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Renuka Singh, Radha Yadav, and Jemimah Rodrigues, expressed their thoughts on how to handle tough opponents at the Women’s T20 World Cup, including Australia and Sri Lanka.
The cricket players opened up about the difficulties and thrill of competing at the highest level, touching on topics such as the influence of players like Chamari Athapaththu and Alyssa Healy and thinking back on the fierce rivalry with Australia. October 9th against Sri Lanka and October 13th against Australia are two of India’s most important games if they want to advance to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals.
Cricketer Shafali Verma of India discussed the influence Chamari Athapaththu has had on the Sri Lankan team in an exclusive interview with Star Sports.
“In the Asia Cup, her entire squad did brilliantly,” the woman stated. “There was a point when Chamari was the one taking wickets and scoring most of the runs. They have won the cup because they have made significant progress. Being a major player comes with pressure, and it’s encouraging to see how Chamari manages it and excels for her nation.
Smriti Mandhana discussed the significance of the forthcoming Women’s T20 World Cup matches. “As players, every game matters to us. You have to give it your all in every World Cup match. Sri Lanka is a strong team in our group,” the player stated. But when it comes to Australia, you know you have to play your best game that day in order to overcome them; you can’t make mistakes and try to minimize them. There is enthusiasm to take on that task on that particular day since they are a formidable team, so the goal is to defeat them.
Renuka Singh discussed the threat that Chamari Athapaththu, the captain of Sri Lanka, poses as a batter. “Chamari Athapaththu is very interesting,” the woman remarked. The only member of the Sri Lankan team that gets the team over the finish line is her.

I attempt to remove her as quickly as possible because she has the ability to dominate the match if she gets set. I therefore have a strategy for removing her.
