There바카라s been no hesitation from Verma in making a name for herself on the global stage, the 16-year-old having scored 68 runs across two games, including five sixes and seven fours, at an impressive strike rate of 212.
The teenager, who is making her ICC Women바카라s T20 World Cup debut in Australia, picked up the Player of the Match award for her 39 runs against Bangladesh, a match which Mandhana missed after picking up viral fever.
Once upon a time the absence of Mandhana for the opening overs would give India reason to worry, but not anymore according to the senior batter, with Shafali Verma showing she바카라s capable of filling her boots.
바카라Shafali has been a huge positive coming into the T20 side,바카라 said Mandhana. 바카라The way she바카라s going about her batting, it바카라s so easy to bat alongside her.
바카라I used to score a lot of our runs in the last two of three years, especially in the Powerplay, but now with Shafali coming in, she바카라s getting the runs in the way I do. It makes the team more balanced.
바카라She바카라s got a routine she likes to follow, and that바카라s the best thing about her. No-one has gone in and told her she has to change that.
바카라I used to have a major role in Powerplays, but Shafali is getting the quick runs in those first overs now too. She바카라s made a huge impact and the team has become more balanced thanks to her.
바카라I don바카라t think we바카라ll be going into the game thinking about a total, but we will continue playing the way that is working for all of our batters.바카라
With the start she바카라s made in Australia, there바카라s no surprise Verma is also the talk of India바카라s next opponents New Zealand, who they face at Melbourne바카라s Junction Oval on Thursday.
The White Ferns won their opener against Sri Lanka after captain Sophie Devine바카라s record-breaking half-century, while for India, winning their third game in Melbourne could secure their progress to the semi-final stage.
But not if Lea Tahuhu has anything to say about it.
While all eyes will be on Verma at the middle, the experienced fast bowler won바카라t go easy on the youngster and still wants her bowling exploits to be the talk of the town.
바카라Personally, I love the thought of facing Verma,바카라 said Tahuhu. 바카라It makes me fire up a little bit more and I바카라m really looking forward to playing her.
바카라I actually played her in the T20 Challenge in India last year and I know she바카라s not going to take a step back.
바카라I바카라ve had a pretty good lead into this tournament playing in the Women바카라s Big Bash League over here and the Super Smash competition back home.
바카라I바카라m in a pretty happy place with my bowling at the moment and I have experience of the conditions having been in Melbourne for a few years with the Renegades.
바카라We바카라ve got a lot of experienced girls who have played here a lot. I바카라m sharing my knowledge, but Katey Martin has also played here a lot and Suzie [Bates] put a few balls over."
