Rathore took to social media platform X, sharing the video of his batting encounter with the young left-arm bowler Sushila.
"Bitiya se clean bowled hokar hum sab jeet gaye (We all won after getting clean bowled by the young daughter)," Rajyavardhan captioned the video on X.

Sushila, who hails from a small village in Pratapgarh, Rajasthan, discovered her passion for cricket just three years ago. Despite limited access to training and facilities, Sushila has remained dedicated to the sport.
"I have been playing for three years. My coach Ishwarlal Meena taught me how to bowl," ANI quoted Sushila as saying.

Her unwavering commitment and determination have led her to make a mark on the cricketing world, earning praise from legends like Sachin Tendulkar and continuing to inspire others with her remarkable journey.
