Sajeevan Sajana the next big thing in women’s cricket?
The Delhi Capitals batted first and put up a challenging total of 171 for Mumbai Indians to chase in their 20 overs. Yastia Bhatia and Hermanpreet Kaur were steering their innings to victory but a sudden collapse in batting after crossing the 150 mark put the pressure back on the Mumbai-based franchise.
The match went on to the last ball, Mumbai Indians needed 5 runs from the last delivery and Sajeevan Sajana was on the crease facing her first-ever delivery in the WIPL. The entire Mumbai Indians fandom prayed for a miracle and a miracle happened. Sajeevan Sajana stepped out and heaved the Ball over long on for a maximum. The entire stadium erupted in joy and so did Sajeevan Sajana herself.
Sajana was calm and composed while facing the delivery, she read the line and length of the delivery very early and had no problem in stepping out and middling the ball for a six.
Sajeeva Sajana has an extremely bright future ahead of her if she can keep up with the same focus and hard work. Sajana has already become a vital part of the Mumbai Indians squad with just a single shot but if she loses her focus and will to work hard, she will fall from grace faster than it took to reach there.
