Fantastic see this young talent (Moomal Meher) from a small village in Rajasthan. The real credit should also go to Roshan Khan (her coach at school) to nurture this talent with all those socio-economic challenges. We also need more people like Roshan Khan..

Sir, sponsor her so she gets proper coaching since she certainly has the talent. This type of cricket will not lead her anywhere
