Soumya could not believe

Saumya could not believe Kohli’s tweet. Actually she is a big fan of Kohli and for this reason she also wears number 18 jersey, because Kohli’s jersey number is also 18.
Used to play cricket with Thapi
Soumya also played an important inning of 22 runs in the semi-final against New Zealand. In her childhood, Saumya used to play cricket with the washerwoman. Seeing his daughter’s interest in cricket, her father took her to an academy where only boys played. Initially, the coach of the academy had refused to give training to Soumya, but after a lot of pleading from her father, the coach agreed and the journey of this budding player of India began.
