Shafali Verma Aiming for T20 World Cup Glory

Instead, she’s armed with newfound consistency and the confidence she gained from leading India’s Under-19 team to victory. At just 20, Shafali knows that this World Cup is her moment to shine and take India to the summit.

For Shafali, the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is the ultimate test of everything she’s learned in her cricketing journey so far.

"Our main focus right now is that we win the [World Cup] trophy," she declared while speaking to ESPNcricinfo.

It’s clear that she’s ready to go the extra mile to ensure that India doesn’t return empty-handed. The T20 World Cup is where reputations are made, and Shafali knows that. With her eyes firmly set on the trophy, she’s leaving no stone unturned in preparation.

Drawing inspiration from India’s Under-19 World Cup win last year, Shafali is determined to channel that winning mentality into the senior team’s campaign.

"It was the biggest moment of my life," she reflected on her Under-19 victory. "I will take confidence from that so we can lift the T20 World Cup this year as well."

The Ultimate Goal: Lifting the Trophy

Shafali Verma may be a rising star, but she’s also a team player through and through.

"Individual goals and records are a part of the game. But there's no better feeling than your team winning, and those nights I get good sleep."," she said, setting her sights firmly on the World Cup trophy.

For Shafali, this T20 World Cup is about bringing glory to India. With the lessons she’s learned, her immense talent, and a burning desire to win, Shafali Verma is ready to lead India’s charge.

And if she has her way, come October, India Women will be lifting the T20 World Cup trophy, with Shafali at the heart of it all.
