Shafali Verma on Sachin Tendulkar’s Role in Comeback: Shefali Verma, the star player of the Indian women’s cricket team, was dropped from the team in October 2024 last year due to poor form. It took him a long time to return to the team. Now he has got a chance in the Indian team for the series against England. Shefali Verma, who is returning to the Indian team, remembered the days of his struggle. He said that while staying out of the team, he watched a lot of videos of Sachin Tendulkar’s batting in Test cricket, which made it understand the importance of playing every ball based on his merit.

Before the first T20 match against England, Shefali said from the BCCI video, “Earlier I used to think about hitting a four or six on every ball, but then I understood that it is necessary to respect a good ball. I saw Sachin Sir’s Test innings and got a lot of inspiration from him. “He said,” I remembered the childhood days when I did not leave a single match of him. I saw every match again. Seeing him, I learned that good innings can be played only by honoring a good ball.
Stayed out of the team for a long time
21 -year -old Shefali returned to the team by performing brilliantly in domestic cricket and women’s Premier League. He said that it is not easy to return and last year, ten days before the team selection, his father became more difficult due to a heart attack. Shefali did not get a place in the team for the three -match ODI series against Australia in November last year.
Things are difficult during return- Shefali
He said, “Whenever you make a comeback, the situation is difficult but the team looks good to return to the atmosphere. I am happy that I could return. Ten days before the selection against Australia, my father had a heart attack. It was a difficult time for me and I was not selected in the team either. I could not understand what was happening. “Shefali further said,” I worked hard on fitness. It was great when he picked up the bat after 20-25 days. It got different energy. Time teaches a lot. I will now leave my best and leave it to the rest of the fate. ”
