Shafali Verma-led Indian women's cricket team scripted history by winning the inaugural U19 T20 World Cup title on Sunday. India’s U19 Women cricket team vice-captain Shweta Sehrawat reached her home and was spotted dancing with her family and friends on Thursday.
ANI shared a video on its Twitter handle, “India’s U19 Women cricket team vice-captain Shweta Sehrawat dances as she receives a grand welcome from her family and friends. India won the inaugural edition of the U19 ICC Women's World Cup in South Africa.”
The Indian team defeated England by 7 wickets in the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup final in Potchefstroom on Sunday to clinch the nation's first ICC title in women's cricket. While the senior women's team are yet to win a world tournament, the U19 team did so in the inaugural season of the U19 T20 World Cup itself.
Skipper Shafali was elated with her team’s performance and said, “The way all the girls are performing and backing each other, so happy. Incredible feeling. Thanks to the staff, the way they have been backing us everyday and telling us that we are here for the cup and because of them we are here. All thanks to them. The players have been backing me a lot,”.
“Thanks to BCCI for giving me this beautiful team and really happy for winning the cup. She (Shweta Sehrawat) has been excellent and has followed all the plans of the staff. Not just her, Archana, Soumya and I can't really take the names but they all have been incredible,” Shafali said at the presentation.
