In the ongoing multi-format series against South Africa, left-handed opener Smriti is enjoying a purple patch.\n<p>She has amassed 343 runs in three ODIs at Bengaluru, which India won and als got the Player of the Series award. Smriti went on to hit a remarkable 149 runs in her only innings of the one-off Test at Chennai, which India won by ten wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Having more shots in your arsenal is beneficial, especially since a straight bat allows me to access all regions of the field. However, I have considered adding more shots. The sweep, reverse-sweep, and lap shots are still works in progress. I'm not fully comfortable with reverse sweeps yet, but I aim to be soon,\" said Smriti on JioCinema's 'In The Nets' show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Smriti also emphasised on the fundamentals of her batting posture needed to nail her elegant cover drives. \"As a batter, a stable base is essential, whether you're right-handed or left-handed.

There's always room for growth, and it's all about the right mindset. You can have numerous shots, but without the right mental approach, success remains elusive.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
