WPL: I Used To Bat With A Coconut Branch, Recalls Sajana, MI's Famous Last-ball Six Hitter
Alice Capsey: After dancing down the pitch to calmly smash the ball from Alice Capsey over wide-long on for a six to seal a memorable last-ball win for defending champions Mumbai Indians over Delhi Capitals, Kerala’s batting all-rounder Sajana Sajeevan has become the talk of the town in the cricketing circles.
Being in the limelight after becoming the famous last-ball six hitter for MI to get the four-wicket win, Sajana, hailing from Kurichiya tribe of Mananthavady, a village in Wayanad in Kerala, recalled how she began playing cricket. “I was five-years-old when I started playing cricket. But I did not know much about women’s cricket. It was Elsamma teacher who introduced me to the game.”
"At that time, I did not have a proper cricket bat, so I used to play with a coconut branch and all. However, when I was selected to play for Kerala, I got a professional kitbag. Our family background was a little weak, so when I played matches, I got DA, TA and match fee. This helped our family a little bit financially," she said in a chat with JioCinema.
