New Delhi: When Smriti Mandhana, the vice-captain of the Indian women's cricket team and a formidable opening batsman, handles the bat on the field, bowlers around the world start sweating. Mandhana, famous for her aggressive batting and calm temperament, is in the headlines at the moment. The Asia Cup title match is to be played against Sri Lanka on Sunday (13 September), where the entire country is expecting a big and stormy innings from them. However, just before this important match, an interview and video of Smriti Mandhana is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which the pain and anger hidden inside her is clearly visible.
The anger and outspoken style behind the calm face
Smriti Mandhana admitted that even though people consider her to be of a calm and simple nature, there is a lot of anger within her. She doesn't believe in taking revenge by expressing it or losing her composure on the field.
Mandhana said that she never allows herself to become weak and does not want unnecessary sympathy. He wants people to recognize him by his performance on the field and not by sympathy.
Tears in eyes on question of personal life
Smriti Mandhana, who has played 175 matches in Women's T-20 International cricket and scored 4,692 runs at an average of 30.46, has always kept her personal life away from the limelight outside the field. Recently during a podcast, when she was asked about the most difficult night of her life, she became quiet for a moment. At that time, moisture in his eyes and pain on his face could be clearly felt. Amidst all the discussions regarding questions related to personal life and relationship with Palash Muchhal, he answered very intelligently. He did not talk much about his personal life and preferred to talk only about cricket. He admitted that last night during the World Cup and the Corona period was one of the most difficult phases of his life.
Raj Shamani was trying hard to make Smriti Mandhana spill something about her last relationship.

'Does not take revenge, but does not forget the matter either'
When she was asked in the podcast whether she forgives people easily in life, the Indian vice-captain gave a very measured and powerful answer. Mandhana said, "I can forgive, but never forget!" The direct message of her statement is that she knows how to forget the bitter experiences of the past and move ahead without getting into trouble with anyone, but the memory of who she had a relationship with and how who treated her always remains in her mind. This attitude of Mandhana just before the final of the Asia Cup shows how mentally strong she is and her entire focus is currently on winning the trophy for the country.
