After the impressive innings, the 22-year-old debutant admitted she was a bit nervous at the start but felt at ease once she got off the mark. The Madhya Pradesh Women’s Premier League star also credited her preparation and domestic form for the knock.

“To be honest, I was a little nervous, but as I played two or three balls, it went away. It was a great outing, and I had great company as well. It was crucial to build a partnership at that time.
