Archana was just four years old when her father passed away. And in the year 2017, his brother also died due to snake bite. After this, the mother brought up the family with great difficulty. Sometimes she used to work in the fields and sometimes she used to sell milk from door to door. He didn’t even have the money to send Archana to school. She used to study in government school.

PT teacher Poonam Gupta of this government school recognized Archana’s talent. He took the responsibility of Archana’s cricket training and then sent her to Kanupar’s Cricket Academy where Kuldeep Yadav’s coach honed Archana’s talent. It was from here that the doors of Team India opened for him. (Getty Images)
Archana will now enter the final of this ICC Under-19 World Cup being held for the first time on Sunday. He will try his best to play an important role in helping his team win. At the same time, many franchises will be eyeing Archana in the Women’s Premier League auction to be held next month. (Facebook)
