DUBAI: Seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy’s first stint in the Indian team saw her play 26 T20Is from 2018 to 2021, and took 18 wickets, before going down the pecking order. But Arundhati forced a return to the Indian team this year and the comeback hit its crescendo when she took career-best figures of 3-19 and played a major hand in the side’s six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Women's T20 World Cup at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Now with the Player of the Match medallion, Arundhati talked of the efforts she put in her time away from the Indian team to be a more complete T20 bowler. “Honestly, the last couple of years I've tried to really work on my bowling as a complete T20 bowler. Again, there's a lot of work that's gone behind it, because I wanted to be a bowler who can bowl in all phases.”
