Cricket: Shafali Verma breaks record in Test debut

 

Recommended for Preparatory Grades

Indian women’s cricket player Shafali Verma just keeps breaking record after record.

Recently, Shafali became the youngest woman to score two half-centuries in her Test debut (her first Test match). She has achieved this record while being just 17 years old!

The earlier record was by Australia’s Jessica Louise Jonassen, who achieved it when she was 22 years old.

Not only that but Shafali is also the first Indian and fourth player to create this record in the history of women’s cricket.

Shafali made this achievement yesterday, in the Test match that India is playing against England in Bristol, UK. She scored 96 runs in the first inning while she is on 55 runs in the second inning. But the match was halted due to the rain and will continue later.

India’s record

Shafali is the fourth cricketer from India to score more than 150 runs in their debut Test. Shikhar Dhawan currently holds the top position for this record.

But, Shafali can beat this record if she scores 37 more runs in this match. So, let’s cheer her on!
