With that kind of age group, there has to be fun and if there&#39;s no fun there&#39;s something wrong with the girls&quot; 23-year-old Mandhana was quoted as saying by the ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s been like that for the last one or two years. I won&#39;t say it wasn&#39;t like that in the years before, but since the teenagers have come, there is a different energy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Young players come into it with fresh thinking, they don&#39;t have anything behind them. They know nothing. They&#39;re very different people to we were when we came into the side at 17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They are very fearless, they don&#39;t have a lot of pressure on them. They think like it&#39;s any other match and coming into a World Cup, that&#39;s the best thing about them.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rodrigues, 19, composed a rap to mark Harmanpreet&#39;s 100th T20I in September last year alongside Harleen Deol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With 16-year-old prodigy Richa Ghosh fast-tracked into the squad without a T20I appearance and Shafali Verma, also 16, getting to meet her idol Sachin Tendulkar in Australia, dreams are coming true every day in the India camp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will start their campaign against defending champions Australia in the tournament opener at the Sydney Showground Stadium on Friday.<\/p>\r\n",
