India’s Tokyo Olympics champ had also given a pep talk to the team before the crucial game.

Victorious Indian skipper Shafali Verma, already an established star in India’s senior side, is now eyeing off a historic double by winning the next month’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup which will also be held in South Africa.
