Young Indian cricketer Shreyanka Patil might not be a household name just yet, but at the age of 21, she is already making waves.
Over the last 12 months or so, her stature has grown such that she has emerged as an inspiration to a plethora of emerging cricketers across the nation. The right-arm off-spinner became the first player to represent India in the Women's Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) when she was signed on by the Guyana Amazon Warriors and then clinched the title of highest wicket-taker in the second edition of the recently concluded WCPL. She took nine wickets in five matches. Her team journey though ended in heartbreak following an 8-run defeat to Barbados Royals in the final.
