Shefali Verma: The player who was not considered worthy of the Women's World Cup, the player who had not scored a half-century in ODIs for 3 years, has now made India the world champion. We are talking about Shefali Verma, who won the Player of the Match award for her amazing performance with bat and ball in the final match against South Africa. The big thing is that Shefali Verma got a place in Team India just before the semi-finals. Due to injury to opener Pratika Rawal, Shefali entered the team and as soon as she came, she said - I feel that God has sent me to do something. He proved this absolutely right in the final.

Shefali Verma's record breaking performance in the final

Shefali Verma Batted in the final match in a way that might not have been expected from him. This batsman attacked the South African batsmen with the first ball. Together with Mandhana, he put 50 runs on the scoreboard in just 39 balls. Both of them also made a century partnership in 17.2 overs but after this when Mandhana was out, there was some pressure on the team but Shefali did not stop and she completed her half-century in 49 balls. Shefali scored a half-century in ODI cricket after three years. However, when Shefali was very close to her century, she lost her wicket. Shefali scored 87 runs in 78 balls.

Shefali showed amazing skills with the ball

Shefali not only did wonders with the bat but after that she showed her strength in bowling. When Team India was in dire need of wickets, this player gave a huge blow to South Africa by dismissing Sune Lees and Marizanne Kapp in his first two overs. This miraculous performance of Shefali also earned her the Player of the Match award. Let us tell you that she is the youngest player to win this award in the World Cup final. Shefali has done this feat at the age of 21 years, 278 days.
