Before the tournament too, Shafali had told Niki that she wished her the best for India to retain the title won at the inaugural edition under the former’s leadership in South Africa.
“Coming into the tournament, I said we are here to dominate and make sure India stays on top,” Niki had said after the World Cup triumph. “We are going to create a legacy of winning this tournament and other ICC tournaments for India. “I am feeling really happy that I am right here standing as a world champion and helping India to stay on top. It is a special moment, playing in this World Cup and doing this for India.”
