Happy Birthday Smriti Mandhana- More than just a pretty face

Make no mistake. Smriti Mandhana is no Ellyse Perry. Nor is she, a Suzie Bates or Sophie Devine. Not an all-round star; not someone who contributes in both departments of the game, as do these heroes in shaping the sport uniquely showing great dexterity and skill. Though make no mistake of undermining Smriti Mandhana either. For there are always talents whose single skill can go a long way toward lifting their team. Cricket is glad Smriti chose to wield the bat instead of spending time in the laboratory doing experiments or becoming a physician for science which was the first love of this once bespectacled teenager. Her fans are glad endlessly so for Mandhana, who once enrolled for cricket trials, aged just nine-and purely for fun- continued to focus on what happens on the 22 yards instead of foraying toward the field of hospitality, which too could?ve been a career direction.
