“All the credit goes to my family my mother, father and sister. They have been my pillar of strength. Credit also goes to all my coaches and teachers. My success story is all about believing in my dream and working hard towards achieving it. Always believed that dreams don’t turn to dust,” said Shikha, who is currently with the Indian T20 World Cup squad.
She holds a degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Goa College of Engineering. In 2011, she joined Indian Air Force, and became an Air traffic controller. She made her international Twenty20 debut on March 9, 2014 while playing against Bangladesh at Cox’s Bazar cricket stadium in Bangladesh. In August of the same year, she made her One-Day International cricket (ODI) and Test cricket debut while playing against England at Wormsley and Scarborough respectively.
“My goal is to make my each appearance in every game that I play for my country count. It’s to make my parents proud. I work hard every day towards my goal. I am really blessed to be one amongst the many girls who are living their dream of serving the country.”
