Smriti Mandhana is the youngest player who features in the advertisement. She is aged just 19 years old and made her India debut at the age of just 16 when she was picked to play against Bangladesh women’s team.

She went on to make her Test debut soon at the age of 17 in 2014 when she scored a half-century in a run chase against England, a game India went on to win and create history.

Mandhana’s role in the video is an impressive one where she is seen running with a weight tied to her as she pushes herself to to run faster.
