We won the match easily by 64 runs and have made the net run rate very good. It means we made Pakistan lick dust once again," he said.
It reminded me of 2011- Shafali Verma, who reminded Aakash Chopra of Virender Sehwag
"Shafali Verma came and hit a six off the first ball, and it reminded me of 2011. Viru (Virender Sehwag), who has been her idol, had hit a first-ball four in every match in that campaign. She has hit a six here. I don't know whether she will be able to hit a six off the first ball in every match. However, she gave a start like that, but then she got dismissed," he observed.
Aakash Chopra in awe of Deepti Sharma
