Great talent can come from anywhere, at any age, but is most often spotted on social media. 7-year-old Pari Sharma from Rohtak, Haryana, is an ambidextrous all-rounder aspiring to join the women’s cricket team when she’s older. Recently, her batting skills were appreciated by former cricketers Aakash Chopra and Sanjay Manjrekar on Twitter.
Take a look.

I see now helicopter shot being actually practiced. Along with collecting the ball very close to the stumps as keeper, this is another cricketing technique Dhoni has popularised as great options for budding cricketers. https://t.co/vJcurZyyFh

People were in awe of the speed of her swing, her hand-eye coordination, and the way she executes MS Dhoni’s signature helicopter shot. They were confident that she’ll find a place in the national team and do everyone proud.
Another thing that impresses me a lot is her lightening fast foot movement and hand eye coordination. Looks like lady SRT in making.
