The inevitable Niki P

Niki Prasad with the ICC Women's U-19 T20 World Cup Trophy (ICC/ Getty Images) It’s amazing what a single innings can do for the confidence of a player. How it can flick a switch and open their eyes to what is possible.  For Niki Prasad, that came at the start of the year when she helped Delhi Capitals nearly pull off a heist against Gujarat Giants . Across the 8 years I’ve watched Niki play, I don’t think there has ever been any doubt around her potential. Even in her early teens she showed the ability to clear the field and score quickly. For someone so tiny, she was surprisingly powerful and made batting look easy - her movements flowed, unhindered by thought. The high back lift, the fast hands, the wrist snap on contact, and the flowing follow through were all trademarks. With the ball, once she found a groove, she was a machine - accurate to a fault. And in the field, she was dynamite. She moved quickly, with power and assurance; her reflexes sharper than most. She stood out f...

Gouher Sultana: Indian cricket royalty

Some names just have star quality. You hear them and it’s like there’s an aura around the person even before you’ve seen them. Their name sounds ‘big’, royal, even. Gouher Sultana is one such name. “Gouher” means diamond or precious stone. Gouher Sultana? The Queen of Diamonds, Diamond Queen… Take your pick. Either way, it’s pretty darn regal, if you ask me. Who is Gouher Sultana? An Indian cricketer – left-arm spinner extraordinaire – with over 80 international caps and close to 100 wickets to her credit. A Hyderabad captain with over 20 years of domestic cricket under her belt and around 550 wickets in her kitty. A championship-winning maverick who’s carried many a team on her shoulders. An incredible teammate, role model and mentor – arguably one of the best going around. A disciplined, dedicated, hard-working, keen student of the game whose drive has not once diminished over the last two decades. A 30-something-year-old with a great sense of humour, a hearty laugh, a generous ...

More than numbers: The M Shalini effect

I’ve seen a lot of my teammates walk away from the game—most of the time without the slightest warning, without even saying goodbye. I have watched as they faded away into the distance, and each time I have regretted that I/we never got a chance to celebrate their achievements. Recently, another teammate, one of my dearest friends, chose to step away from the game we love so much. It has still not sunk in. Playing in a Hyderabad team without her will be strange, and I won’t believe it is possible until it actually happens. When I heard the news, I realized that I didn’t want to regret letting her fade off, and that it was time to celebrate a career that has had a huge impact on mine. To me, Mantravadi Shalini will always be a super star. When I first started playing, she was the senior whom I used to carry extra peanut butter sandwiches for, who was the ‘princess’ of camp because she had the most number of ‘fans’, and who came whizzing in on her TVS Scooty milliseconds before...
