Shubhlakshmi Sharma is a medium fast bowler for the Indian women’s cricket team and is also featured in the Nike ad. She hails from the state of Jharkhand, the same state from where the Indian men’s cricket team’s captain MS Dhoni hails.

Sharma started playing for India in the year 2012 and has represented India in both One-day internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. She was a crucial figure in the squad for the 2013 ICC Women’s World Cup.

But the bowler was dropped from the team in April 2013 and has not been selected ever since. However, with her part in the inspiring video, Sharma will be hoping she can find her form to break into the national team again. Her role in the video is short as she is seen bowling to her captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
