Opener Pratika Rawal expressed confidence in the team\u2019s batting depth. \u201cWe had different scenarios. Most of us were able to do it and I think it's a very good start. I mean, few of us batted brilliantly. I think the amount of depth this team has, I am pretty sure it's going to be great for us,\u201d she said in a video posted on BCCI\u2019s social media handles on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pratika also highlighted the team\u2019s growing camaraderie as a key takeaway from the preparatory camp. \u201cI feel like the way that we are bonding right now, it's amazing. The girls are understanding each other's perspective, which is a very good sign. So, our team looks united,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy noted that the camp provided her with plenty of challenges, particularly in honing her bowling skills against quality batters in the national team. \u201cFor me, I have had few challenges with the batters when I go in. I think it's good for both of us because it gets the best out of whoever I am bowling to and I personally like a challenge when I am bowling,\u201d Reddy said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam will also host India\u2019s World Cup fixtures against South Africa on October 9 and defending champions Australia on October 12. India have never won the Women\u2019s ODI World Cup, with their best result being runners-up in 2005 and 2017 editions of the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
