India's successful World Cup campaign has fueled Shafali Verma's ambition for more cricket silverware. The 21-year-old opener, who was instrumental in the tournament's final, is eager to make winning a consistent habit.

Verma shone as a replacement for the injured Pratika Rawal, scoring 87 runs and taking two wickets, earning her the player of the match title in India's decisive 52-run win over South Africa. "This is just the beginning," Verma declared, emphasizing the need for continued success.
