“The last game gave me so much confidence. I was just thinking of improving myself and backing myself rather than thinking I am doing good or not. So, I am very excited to play tomorrow’s game. It would be fun to play fast balls,” she added.
“The coaches were backing me when I was in the nets. Our batting coach always gave me confidence which is a very good thing. He always worked on my weak and strong points. They always give confidence to our team and give us good throwdowns. Our staff go to those players who are not in good nick. They sit with them and give them confidence. As a player, it gives us a boost,” said the 18-year-old.

Talking about the next match with South Africa and India’s batting and bowling attack, Verma said, “It’s a crucial game and everyone knows their role. I think everyone is ready to give 100 per cent. All the batters are now in form. Everyone who goes out to bat tends to build partnerships by supporting the batters at the other end as well.”
“They always tell us that whatever happens, always back each other. We want to build good partnerships in the next game as a batting unit. I think our bowling unit has also improved a lot and fielding as well. I think we have improved a lot as a team,” said Verma. India will face South Africa on Sunday with the Proteas’ spot in the semifinal already confirmed, but India still need a win to enter the semis.
