Her approach towards the team, that’s something nobody can beat. When I started playing, she was the one I looked up to, in terms of how she prepares herself. I’m lucky to have witnessed a cricketer like her in person, to have known her up close and to have gotten the opportunity to spend time with and learn so much from, she added.
