Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batswoman Indrani Roy was picked for India’s tour of England and she stated that she would implement tips from former Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to mark her first impression at such a big stage.
India will play a one-off Test from June 16-19, followed by a three-match ODI series and as many T20I series culminating on July 15.
“During a training session in Ranchi sometime last year, I had a long conversation with Mahi sir, about how to improve my game and he had told me that I should ensure that I improve my reflexes and movement in the five-metre radius,” the 23-year-old player told Sportstar.
“For wicketkeepers, that’s a key thing, and he advised me that I should try and get better. That actually helped me,” said Indrani, who shifted base from Howrah district of West Bengal to Jharkhand a few years ago.
Indrani, had a prolific season of domestic cricket scored 103 runs against Chattisgarh and 86 against Karnataka in the senior women’s One Day Trophy.
“Learning a thing or two from a legend like Mahi sir is a privilege and his advice actually helped me improve my game. Every time I hit the ground, I try to remember his tips,” she said.
