Star Indian spinner Vaishnavi Sharma on Friday picked four wickets in four deliveries while playing for Madhya Pradesh against Andhra in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, as she carried on her form from the Zimbabwe ODIs into domestic cricket.
Vaishnavi was brought into the attack in the fifth over of Andhra’s innings and made an immediate impact, claiming two wickets in her first three overs while conceding just 16 runs.
Vaishnavi returned to bowl the penultimate over but got off to an inauspicious start, giving away a two and a four off her first two balls.
