Veda Krishnamurthy

She became the third Indian player to play in the Women's Big Bash when she joined Hobart Hurricanes for the third edition of the tournament

Born: October 16, 1992

Role: Right-hand bat, legbreaks

The 27-year-old first appeared in her state’s senior team when she had only just become a teenager.

Five years later, at the age of just 18, she made her international debut – albeit in a one-sided defeat against Australia.

Since then, for a while she found herself in and out of the national team – certainly up until 2018.

Her ODI record, though, stands up nicely – she has passed fifty on eight occasions out of just 41 innings.

On the T20 circuit, however, she has been guilty of throwing away her starts.

For India, she has made just two half centuries in 56 knocks.

She became the third Indian player to play in the Women’s Big Bash when she joined Hobart Hurricanes for the third edition of the tournament.

Her power has continued to make her a force to be reckoned with.

One of the lesser-discussed lights of this Indian batting line-up, she is not to be underestimated.
