Shafali: ' I get great rest' when India win

Shafali Verma wants to increase her confidence and increase consistency for a more comprehensive match than she has ever had.

Consistency, power-hitting, and trust. Shafali Verma wants to bring the three issues she has learned throughout her career together to help India win the T20 World Cup in the coming months.

She always had the energy, it was her "natural activity". Consistency is something she has picked up more just, emphasized by her maiden global era in June this time. And she hopes to bolster her self-assurance following her third-highest scoring in the Under-19 T20 World Cup last month.

" I will draw motivation from the Under-19 World Cup next year," Shafali told ESPNcricinfo at a Que company shot in Delhi lately. " Of sure, it was a huge issue for women's cricket in India that we won an ICC prize. I'll get my assurance from that experience to help us win the T20 World Cup this year.

" Our main focus right now is that we win the [ World Cup ] trophy. Inpidual goals and files are a part of the game. But there's no better experience than your team winning, and those mornings I get good sleep. "

In preparation for the T20 World Cup, which will take place in Sharjah and Dubai from October 3 to October 20, Shafali has attended the India player's tents at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. Since she did n't play any competitive cricket since the T20 Asia Cup in July, she has been using this opportunity to work on herself in different ways.

" I'm not playing the WBBL and the Hundred because I'm working on my health and emotional degrees," she said. " But even when I played those contests, I learnt that fitness is very important because if you want to enjoy longer pulls next having good health is extremely important. "

One such long push Shafali played just was when she scored the double-hundred against South Africa in the home Evaluation in June.

" That evening I told myself I had to play a much pitches, and not let that possibility come," she said. Such knocks are uncommon, and I do n't know how many of those I went through before. But that day all was going well and my goal was to play for as long as possible. "

Speaking about persistence, she said," At the start of my career, I simply used to go out and struck, but now I've made some changes emotionally. Then I have the match to block a couple of sales because well, I can play along the ground also. When you alter your game's emotional structure, you become more consistent. I'm hoping to maintain this continuity and perform well for the team.

It's not like you have to put in a lot of effort to get something right. Just like you work on your weaknesses, you may work on your strengths while well"

On Shafali Verma's energy game,

" The T20 World Cup in 2020 was my first World Cup and that day I used to move after every game. Such a thing might work first in your career, but after a while the opposition starts doing picture analysis to determine your game's strengths and weaknesses. I did n't do that well in the 2023 T20 World Cup either but I learnt a lot from that tournament.

People have started to question my regularity now, and I've come to understand how crucial it is to stay constant for three to four years. I'm currently only 20 years old, but I want to improve from what I've learned so far. "

Shafali's USP, right from her early days in the Women's T20 Challenge which led to her India debut at the age of 15 in 2019, has been her power hitting, something she does n't want to let go of.

You pick up these subjects from an early age, and I've worked hard on them, she said. " Then it comes extremely naturally to me. However, it's not like you have to put in a lot of effort to get something right. Just like you work on your weaknesses, you may work on your abilities as well. So the truth is that I've learnt this from youth and now it comes naturally to me. "
