Overview
- The 23-year-old off-spinner is expected to feature for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Mumbai Indians on January 9 in Navi Mumbai.
- A sequence of shin splints, a wrist issue and a fractured thumb sidelined her for over a year and cost her India’s home ODI World Cup.
- During the early months of recovery she withdrew from social contact before engaging with players at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
- She says Jasprit Bumrah’s guidance eased the mental strain and shaped her focus on death-overs execution, including yorker practice.
- Her phased return included the CPL with Barbados Royals and Karnataka’s Senior Women’s T20s, where she took five wickets in eight matches at a 6.31 economy rate.
