Shikha Pandey, a right-arm medium pacer, marked her debut in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODI) and Women’s T20 Internationals (WT20I) in 2018. Her selection for the Indian squad in the 2018 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 was a significant achievement. However, her participation in the tournament was cut short due to an injury sustained during a warm-up match.
One of Vastrakar’s remarkable bowling performances that garnered attention was her exceptional figures of 3 wickets for a mere 6 runs against Malaysia in the Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup in 2018.
