Shefali Verma may be walking out of Team India. Not playing against Ireland. But his bat continues to flourish in domestic cricket. At present, her explosiveness has been seen in the Senior Women's ODI Challenger Trophy, where she has scored 414 runs. No, this run is the result of not one but 5 innings played by Shefali. This female opener of India would have accomplished a feat for the fifth consecutive time, if she had crossed the 50-run mark in the final.

Shefali Verma…hit in batting, fit in captaincy

The final of the Senior Women's ODI Challenger Trophy is being played between Team A and Team C. Shefali is not only a player of Team A but is also the captain. And in this dual role, she appeared to be performing well throughout the tournament. The effect of his success is that the team not only reached the finals but he also scored the maximum runs for the team to reach here.

Shefali scored 414 runs, missed doing so for the 5th consecutive time

Shefali Verma scored 26 runs in the final against Team C in 21 balls, which included 4 fours and 1 six. This is his lowest score in the tournament. Because, in the 4 innings played before this, he has 4 consecutive fifty plus scores. Out of that, there is 1 century and 3 half-centuries. Earlier, in the 34 matches played, he had scored a total of 388 runs by playing innings of 95, 91, 87 and 115 runs. Now after a total of 5 innings of the tournament, he has 414 runs in his account.

If Shefali had scored a half-century in the final match too, then the record of scoring fifty plus in 5 consecutive innings would have been registered in her name.

Will Shefali return to Team India now?

The special thing about Shefali Verma's batting in the ODI Challenger Trophy was that she did not let her strike rate be controlled. His strike rate was above 100 in every match. Simply put, he batted in T20 style in ODIs. Hopefully, after this strong performance, Shefali can soon be seen back in Team India.
