Shafali Verma Says her Role Model is Liam Livingstone’s Batting Choice
Shafali Verma said about her role model and her favorite batsman, ‘I like the batting of England’s explosive batsman Liam Livingstone nowadays, because he is hitting very well.

I have to say that we have a good average in batting, bowling and fielding. As a captain, I hope that we will win the World Cup.
