Shafali Verma is making sure to take the world by storm. The 16-year-old continues to win hearts after her explosive batting at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
In India's second match against Bangladesh, Shafali scored a quickfire 39 of just 17 balls. She smashed four sixes and two fours in her entertaining knock.
The young Indian opener had earlier broken Sachin Tendulkar’s record to become the youngest Indian to score an international half-century in November.
Seeing her dangerous batting, netizens soon hailed the young girl.
