IND W vs SL W: The Indian women’s cricket team started the five-match T20 series against Sri Lanka in Visakhapatnam. In the first match being played on Sunday (21 December 2025), India won the toss and chose to bowl first. In this match, 20 year old young left arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma made her international debut. Before the start of the match, captain Harmanpreet Kaur handed her the debut cap.

Vaishnavi Sharma’s amazing journey

Vaishnavi was born on 18 December 2005 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. She is the first female cricketer from Gwalior-Chambal region to reach the Indian senior team. He has performed amazingly in domestic cricket. Took 21 wickets in 11 matches for Madhya Pradesh in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, which was the highest in the tournament. Took 12 wickets in 5 matches from Central Zone in Inter-Zonal T20.

At the beginning of this year, Vaishnavi played an important role in India’s victory in the Under-19 T20 World Cup. She became the highest wicket taker in the entire tournament by taking 17 wickets. In the debut match against Malaysia itself, she took a hat-trick by taking 5/5, which was the first hat-trick by an Indian woman in the Under-19 World Cup. She is a left arm orthodox spinner and also bats right hand.

Big contribution of family

Vaishnavi’s father Professor Narendra Sharma is an astrologer and teaches astrology at Jiwaji University. Seeing his daughter’s horoscope in childhood, he encouraged her towards cricket. The family faced financial crisis during the pandemic and even had to sell the house, but never let Vaishnavi’s cricket get affected.

Mother Ashalata Sharma is a housewife and the entire family supported her completely. Vaishnavi started training at Tansen Cricket Academy at the age of just four-five years.
