Mithali Raj (Captain)
India’s no.1 batter and skipper of the Indian team, a lot will depend on this woman. We have seen her open the innings in T20 match recently which means that India is certainly assured of a good solid start. With tons of experience, Raj would want to exploit this and take her team to the first ever World Cup victory.

Thirush Kamini
Thirush Kamini opens the innings for India and her team would want her to get off to a flyer. She is aggressive and fearless and can take on any bowler. Kamini is blessed with all possible cricketing shots and a treat to watch. This southpaw from Andhra Pradesh is just – years old and has a lot of cricket ahead of her.
Veda Krishnamurthy
Veda is an attacking batswoman and an occasional leg break bowler. She is just 23 years old and an integral part of the Indian team. She is a middle order bat and is known to be a clean striker of the cricket ball.
Niranjana Nagarajan
Niranjana is one of India’s
frontline bowlers, who bowls at a good pace without compromising her line and
length. She is an asset for the Indian team as she contributes with both, bat
and bowl. As a bowler you would expect her to come lower down the order to bat,
but the India skipper has loads of confidence on this girl and often gives her
the opportunity to bat at the middle order.
Harmanpreet Kaur
One of the most attacking players
in the Indian batting line-up is Harmanpreet Kaur. She idolizes Virender Sehwag
and if you see her batting, you will see the reflection of it. Her heroics in
Australia just a few days back saw India winning the match in a record chase of
140 runs. Kaur is handy with the ball as she bowls occasional off-spins. A
complete package, Harmanpreet will play a pivotal role in India’s World Cup
journey.
Smriti Mandhana
Playing her domestic cricket for Maharashtra, this south-paw is a treat to watch. She is a stylish batter and has a good understanding of the game. She is aggressive and can dominate the best of best bowling attacks. Through her glasses she reads the ball well and is a tough nut to crack. Age is just a number for 19-year old Mandhana who has played some matured knocks in the recent past.

Vellaswamy Vanitha
Vanitha is a right handed bat,
who is not afraid to play unorthodox cricketing shots. She can open the innings
as well as bat in the middle order. Having someone like Vanitha is always good
as she can accelerate the scoring rate at her will.
Rajeshwari Gayakwad
Gayakwad is a slow left arm
orthodox bowler and is a wicket-taking bowler for India. She is known to break
partnerships and bowls a disciplined line and length.
1 Anuja Patil
Anuja Patil has made a dream
start to her international career. She is a fantastic finisher, a brilliant
bowler, who can open the bowling, just like Ravichandran Ashwin does it for the
India men’s team. Though not a big turner of the ball, she gets the ball in
right areas and is difficult to play at the start. Patil is an amazing athlete,
who loves to throw herself on the ground.
1 Ekta Bisht
Ekta Bisht is a pocket sized
dynamo. She bowls left arm orthodox and offers variety to the Indian bowling
attack. She can the spin the ball well and is a good player to have in the
side.
1 Deepti Sharma
Deepti Sharma is India’s one of
most effective pace bowlers. She had a good outing against Sri Lanka in the
recently concluded T20 series. India will hope that alongwith Goswami, Sharma
also fires in the World T20.
1 Jhulan Goswami
India’s no.1 bowler, Jhulan
Goswami will have to lead from the front. She is the spearhead of India’s
bowling attack and if she gets going there is nothing that can stop India from
winning. Goswami is also known for her batting abilities as she can pack a
punch or two and can take the game away from the opposition. Raj and Goswami
have played a lot of cricket together and team India would be banking on their
enormous experience.
1 Sushma Verma (Wicket-Keeper)
Her glove-work is exceptional
behind the stumps and Sushma Verma is more than decent with the willow. She
will be instrumental in motivating the girls and constant chirping between the
deliveries will set the team up.
