Fondly known as Shifu, Shafali Verma is a powerhouse at the top of the order. From disguising herself as a boy to play cricket in Rohtak to becoming one of the most feared batters in world cricket, her journey has been nothing short of inspiring.

She made history as India’s youngest debutant at 15 and has since smashed records, including being the youngest female cricketer to score 1000 T20I runs. Her fearless batting lit up the 2020 T20 World Cup, and she later led India to their first-ever ICC trophy at the U19 World Cup in 2023.

With stints in The Hundred and WBBL, Shafali has taken her power-hitting global. Every young girl in the city dreams of playing like her, and every fan knows she’s the leader to rally behind. Expect fireworks every time when she steps onto the field this season.
