One of the more explosive batters in modern-day cricket, Shafali Verma has made a name for herself in international cricket. The 18-year-old makes heads turn with her performances, wherever she plays.

Shafali has the ability to hit boundaries at will and possesses the firepower to give India a solid start. The youngster was on top of her game against the Sri Lanka Women in the ODI series where she finished as the highest run scorer with 155 runs at an average of 77.5.

A nightmare for any opposition, Verma is expected to emulate her recent success in Birmingham.
