The Indian cricket team captain is one of the three women cricket players who feature in the Nike ad. She is a right-hand batsman but also bowls medium pace and is also the captain of the Indian cricket team.

The 27-year old had an outstanding 2016 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 and almost helped India in reaching the semi-finals. In one of the proud achievements for Indian women’s cricket, the captain was selected by the Sydney Thunder franchise in the Women’s Big Bash League in Australia.

The cricketer is seen hitting her former national teammate Shubhlakshmi Sharma for a lofted shot in the video. She also goes on to shout “Come on” in one of the close-up shots of the Indian captain.
