The two rising stars have impressed on India\u2019s ongoing tour of England, playing key roles in both the T20I and ODI series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sree Charani, a standout performer in the five-match T20I series, which India clinched 3-2, claimed 10 wickets and consistently posed problems for the English batters. Goud, meanwhile, has contributed three wickets in the ongoing ODI series, which stands locked at 1-1 ahead of the final game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking on the eve of the decider, Rana expressed her admiration for both bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cCharani is a really great bowler. She has performed very well in the domestic season and in the WPL. Her speciality is the number of revolutions she puts on the ball. It is fantastic to see,\u201d said Rana.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cShe has a high arm action. Whenever she comes to bowl, it always feels like she will take a wicket immediately. She has a good knowledge of her skills, so it feels good to have a conversation with her,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rana acknowledged that while Charani and Goud may be short on international experience, their success in domestic cricket and the Women\u2019s Premier League has equipped them with the confidence to thrive at the highest level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn terms of international cricket, I would say there is less experience. But otherwise, they have got a lot of experience in domestic cricket. Kranti Goud has been doing really well, even in the WPL,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very simple conversation with them \u2014 whatever confidence you show there, you have to do the same thing in international cricket.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian team, she added, is focused on the present challenge rather than being burdened by future goals like the World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe are not thinking much about the future. Obviously, the World Cup is impending. It is an important year. But presently, what are we doing, what are we working on, and are we able to execute it or not? That is important.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On her own bowling approach, Rana stressed the importance of partnerships over fixed roles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not important where you are bowling from. What\u2019s important is how you bowl in partnership. My mindset has always been to take wickets first, and we prepare ourselves in the nets in the same way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On her own bowling approach, Rana stressed the importance of partnerships over fixed roles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With a shot at a rare ODI series win in England, India\u2019s blend of youth and experience is eager to make it count.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
