INDW V ENGW: Surprise Call-up Shubha Satheesh Happy To Contribute To The Team's Cause
DY Patil Stadium: It was only on Thursday morning that the 24-year-old Karnataka left-handed batter Shubha Satheesh was informed that she will be making her debut against England Women in the one-off four-day Test at the DY Patil Stadium here.
And less than an hour into the match, she was in the middle, sent in as a surprise the No.3 batter after Smriti Mandhana got out early. Shubha went on to make the most of the opportunity to top-score for India with 69 off 76 balls, adding 115 runs for the third wicket partnership with fellow debutante Jemimah Rodrigues (68) which rescued the team from a difficult position at 47/2.
The partnership between Shubha and Jemimah set the foundation on which Yastika Bhatia (66), Harmanpreet Kaur (49), Deepti Sharma (60 not out) and Sneh Rana (30) capitalised to help India reach a strong position at 410/7 at stumps on Day 1.
