Smriti Mandhana, a key player for the Indian women's cricket team, shared how advice from her favorite cricketer Virat Kohli helped her develop a better mindset ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. In a chat with Star Sports, she discussed her admiration for Kohli and sought his insights on managing expectations and dealing with batting grip issues. Kohli advised her to focus on team needs rather than outside expectations, a perspective Mandhana found transformative. She acknowledged that although she had a similar mindset, hearing it from Kohli allowed her to better translate it into performance. As the tournament approaches, Mandhana's form will be crucial for India's success in the competition. The Women's T20 World Cup is set to begin on October 3 in the UAE.
