Especially my performance against Australia in the Games was best for me, as playing against them is very special for me, she said.
"The second best for me was against England in Lords as playing at that venue is a dream. It was also special that we won that series against them. I want to thank my family, teammates and coaches for this award as they have a big hand in my success. My teammates are backing me a lot. At the NCA too, trainers back me when I practice. I will give credit to the teammates, family and coaches," she added
