5 players than can help India win the Women’s World T20

#4 Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana has, in a very short period of time, become the pivot around which the Indian batting revolves. Smriti has been the standout player in the Indian Women’s cricket during the recent past. Her smashing form in the 2018 edition of the KIA Super League saw her being named the Player of the Series as she scored the most number of runs in the tournament.

She also earned praise from her idol Kumar Sangakkara for her performances. In March this year, she scored the fastest fifty for India in T20Is for Women, entering the record books twice in four days when she scored a 30-ball 50 against Australia and followed it up with a 25-ball half-century against England.

Smriti is a brilliant striker of the cricket ball and has developed a Hayden-esque brutality. Her intimidating style of play at the top can push the pressure back on the opposition and would serve India well in the shortest format of the game.
