Just a few weeks ago, a video capturing a young girl named Sushila Meena, from a remote village in Rajasthan attracted everyone’s attention on social media. Yet again she has risen up to hog the limelight for all the good reasons with her impressive bowling.
It was none other than the master blaster, who is also hailed as the “God of Cricket,” Sachin Tendulkar praised her bowling action as “Smooth, effortless and lovely to watch”. He was impressed to the extent that he even went on to spot the similarity in her bowling action with the former Indian World Cup-winning left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan, posting it on his personal X (formerly known as Twitter) handle.
Zaheer Khan himself agreed to the fact and praised and appreciated the promising talent of the youngster.
Meena, hailing from Pratapgarh, has impressed yet again with her skill. She had no proper training facility and hardly anyone to guide her when she first discovered her inner calling to take up cricket, three years ago.
She has now finally found a coach in the form of Ishwarlal Meena who could guide her through her cricketing journey, while also grooming her raw talent, constructively channelling her energy in a manner to reach her full potential in terms of talent.
Her father Ratna Meena has expressed his gratitude to Sachin Tendulkar for spotting her daughter’s talent, praising her skill in the sport. His kind words of appreciation have gone a long way in helping the young kid not only get a mentor in the form of her coach but also better training facilities to improve and sharpen her skill with the ball in hand.
As a by-product of her improvement, she has yet again impressed viewers and various fans around the country with her skill. Another video clip of her bowling to the Sports Minister of Rajasthan, Rajyavardhan Rathore in the nets is now viral, where she uprooted the middle stump with a swinging, fuller-length delivery.
The Sports Minister was left in awe of her talent, impressed by which, he posted the clip on his personal X (formerly known as Twitter) handle. He quoted with a caption that read, “Bitiya se clean bowled ho kar hum sab jeet gaye” (We all won after getting clean bowled by the young daughter).
She remains dedicated to juggling and managing her school life, and academic studies alongside cricket to pursue her passion and make it big on the back of relentless and consistent commitment to improvement in her skill in the sport.
