Who is Nandini Sharma?

Nandini Sharma is known for her pace bowling and has played for Chandigarh in the domestic circuit. Nandini’s ability to pick wickets at crucial stages earned her a good name and she was finally handed a WPL contract after being bought by Delhi Capitals for INR 20 lakh in the auction.

“I was just focused on bowling at my target. Shafili and Jemimah were talking to me before every ball, and the plan was simple—to attack the stumps. I didn’t expect a hat-trick, but the team kept telling me that wickets would come,” Nandini after the hattrick.

“After my first over, I realised the batters were picking my stock ball well, so I decided to use my variations, and thankfully it worked. My brother, mother and a close friend are here at the ground, while the rest of my family is watching from home. They have all been incredibly supportive,” Nandini added.
