It’s Always Fun And I Enjoy Batting With Shafali: Smriti Mandhana
ICC T20 World Cup: India opener Smriti Mandhana believes that having a good opening partnership with Shafali Verma is fun and it has improved their performance during the last two and half years as they now know how to complement each other.
It all began in 2019 when Mandhana and Verma were paired as openers in T20Is. With each match, they decoded the nuances of each other's game, learning to complement strengths and cover weaknesses. The result? A staggering 2079 runs in 66 T20Is--the most successful opening pair for Indian women in the shortest format.
Their partnership didn't stop there. In 2021, they ventured into the realm of ODI cricket as openers, and in just 19 games, have amassed 767 runs, with an average of 34.86 and are on course to become the country's most successful opening pair in this format as well.
