Pratika Rawal made her ODI debut for India in 2024 and has since scored over 1000 runs in 28 matches. Her average is nearly 50 runs per innings. She has also scored one century and seven half-centuries. Her consistency in batting and understanding of shot selection have made her one of Team India’s most reliable openers.
Not only this, earlier this year she broke another record. She surpassed former England captain Charlotte Edwards to become the fastest woman to reach 500 runs in ODI cricket. She achieved this feat in just eight innings.
Now, expectations from the Indian team have increased even more. If the team defeats New Zealand on October 23rd, it will secure a place in the semifinals. The next match will be played against Bangladesh on October 26th, and all eyes will once again be on Pratika Rawal, who has become the new face of Indian women’s cricket.
