Cricket has been part of my life since I was in the womb! As the daughter of a former Indian first-class cricketer, I was surrounded by the game from the very beginning! It鈥檚 even the reason my family and I moved to the UK. From watching matches to being immersed in cricket daily, it quickly became a constant.
I began playing county age-group cricket for Sussex at just eight years old, the youngest and smallest in the squad. From there, I represented Surrey across U17, U19, EPP, Women鈥檚 and Worcestershire.
Cricket has played a fundamental role in shaping who I am, teaching me how to handle both the highest highs and the lowest lows, manage pressure, and build resilience. It鈥檚 ironic, but in many ways, life mirrors a Test match -it teaches you to navigate each session as it comes, adapting 聽along the way.
My journey has since evolved into broadcasting, a path I didn鈥檛 even know was possible for someone who hadn鈥檛 played international cricket. After my first experience at Hove, covering Sussex v New Zealand, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.
I now work as a freelance broadcaster, including with the BBC, and have covered major events from ICC tournaments, IPL, WPL, domestic cricket & several franchise T20鈥檚 too. I鈥檝e had the privilege of interviewing players like Surya Kumar Yadav and sharing a commentary box with Michael Clarke, Waqar Younis and Dinesh Karthik, experiences that continue to push me to improve every day and remind me how incredible it is to learn the game through their eyes.
I鈥檓 particularly proud to be one of the few South Asian women in cricket media, and I鈥檓 driven to show that there are opportunities in cricket beyond playing. There is a place for you, beyond that white line lies endless opportunities to work in a sport you love. Cricket has taught me that if you are loyal to the game, show respect, and give it your all, it will reward you.
