Watch: 'Virat Kohli' wannabe schoolgirl from Ladakh bats like a pro

LEH: A young girl from Ladakh has attracted the limelight after her video of hitting cricket shots went viral on the Internet.

In a country where millions aspire to play for the Indian cricket team and only a few get a chance to fulfil their dreams, the schoolgirl hits some thunderous shot and says "I'll put all my efforts to play like @imVkohli," the tweet mentioned.

In the video shared by the Directorate of School Education, Ladakh, on their Twitter handle, Maqsooma, a class 6th student, is seen hitting balls out of the park. The potential and skill of the little girl left the Twitterati awestruck.

"My father at home and my teacher at school encourage me to play cricket. I'll put all my efforts to play like @imVkohli Maqsooma student class 6th #HSKaksar," Tweeted the Directorate of School Education.

The grade six budding star wants to learn the 'helicopter' shot and quoted a valid reason for it.

"I have been playing since childhood. I am still learning how to play especially 'Helicopter Shot.' After taking the second run, we get tired and do not feel like running for another. My favourite cricketer is Virat Kohli and I want to be like him," Maqsooma said in the video.
