During the test, she fielded for about 70-80 overs, she is a brave girl. Fielding at short-leg is not easy. She got hit but she stood there in pain, she has a great attitude and is a really hard-working cricketer. I was very happy for her when she stumped Brits. Munish further said about the team’s fielding- It is difficult to catch the ball when it is drizzling. But still we fielded very well, we are working on it and it is a work in progress as we are gradually getting better.
