Their synergy has been a crucial factor in India’s success, with Shafali revealing that their connection on the field has strengthened since they began opening together in 2019. The 19-year-old expressed how well she and Mandhana understand each other, which plays a pivotal role during their performances, especially in the crucial powerplay overs.
“I’ve been opening with Smriti for the past 2-3 years, and now we can sense each other’s feelings just by our facial expressions while batting. We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and give each other positive vibes. We understand how important we both are to the team, especially during the powerplay, so we try to perform well for ourselves, our teammates, and the country,” Shefali told Star Sports.
