About Shafali Verma
Shafali Verma is one of the most explosive young batters in world cricket and a record-breaker from the very start of her career. Born in Rohtak, Haryana, in 2004, she began playing at eight, practising in the nets with her brother and her father, a cricket fan who runs a small jewellery shop. In 2019, aged just 15, she became the youngest woman to play a T20 international for India.
Career highlights
Shafali’s records came quickly. In June 2021 she became the youngest player, male or female, to represent India in all three formats of international cricket. In October 2022 she became the youngest cricketer to complete 1,000 runs in T20 internationals.
She captained India to victory at the inaugural Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023. Her biggest moment came in the final of the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup, when she was named Player of the Match as India won the title for the first time. She plays in the Women’s Premier League and has played overseas leagues as well.
What audiences love about Shafali
Fans love Shafali’s fearless, aggressive batting, often compared to Virender Sehwag’s, and her down-to-earth small-town personality. Her story, of a girl from Rohtak who cut her hair short as a child so she could play with boys in local academies, has become an inspiring tale for girls across India who want to play sport.
Her performance in the 2025 World Cup final made her a national hero and brought her a far larger following beyond regular cricket fans.
