Here’s the video: 

Kiran has played only six T20Is for India but has been a decent performer in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). She has represented UP Warriorz in 25 games and has slammed 419 runs at 140.13 with 44 fours and 24 sixes under her belt in the tournament.

With the kind of performance that she came up with, she surely would be under the radar of selectors for the T20I team.
