Indian women's cricket team will have one more thing to worry about when they take on England in the upcoming T20I series- Virat Kohli's bat. The bat gifted to English cricketer Danielle Wyatt is set to be unleashed in the tri-series this month. 

Wyatt, who was the member of the England women's team that defeated Mithali Raj-led India in the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 final, will be part of the team set to tour India this month for a T20I tri-series. 

The English cricketer made headlines in 2014 after asking India captain Virat Kohli to marry her on Twitter. She had proposed to Kohli after watching his spectacular knock against South Africa in the T20 World Cup in 2014. 

Later that year, Kohli gifted Wyatt a bat during a warm-up game between India and England in Derbyshire. Now, Wyatt is eager to use the 'secret weapon'. 

"I'm using Virat Kohli's bat now," Wyatt told ESPNcricinfo in an interview.

The series, to be played at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium, will also feature Australia. 

Wyatt described the bat as a beast and will be using it when she will open the batting for England against Australia women on March 23. England women will face India women on March 25.

"The bat I hit the century with broke not long ago. So now I'll be using Virat's," Wyatt said.

The England cricketer was trolled after she put up a picture of a bat carrying the wrong spelling of Kohli's name.

The 26-year-old has represented England in 53 ODIs, scoring 602 runs at an average of 17.20. In 73 T20Is, Wyatt has scored 657 runs at an average of 14.93, including one century and one half-century. She also has 27 ODI and 46 T20I wickets to her name.
