New Delhi, July 27:
Nineteen-year-old Deepti Sharma, who has gained a huge following with her all-round exploits in the Women’s World Cup, has modelled herself on Ravichandran Ashwin and wants to master the carrom ball like her male counterpart.
“I follow Ashwin a lot. He is my role model. I do have my own style of bowling the carrom ball but I want to bowl that with Ashwin-like accuracy,” the Agra-cricketer said on the sidelines of the BCCI felicitation here today.
Deepti never dreamt of playing the game. It all just fell into place for her after she started as a nine-year-old.
As fate would have it 10 years later, she played a vital role, both in the middler-order and with her off-spinners, in helping India reach their second ever World Cup final. (PTI)
