'Comeback Queen' Sneh Rana made a triumphant return to ODI glory in Sri Lanka

It’s not every day that a cricketer lives up to a moniker given by fans. But for India all-rounder Sneh Rana, the moniker of ‘Comeback Queen’ feels incredibly fitting. Sneh’s return to ODI cricket after last playing the format in December 2023 yielded 15 wickets and a Player of the Series award in India winning the tri-series in Sri Lanka.

It’s not easy being Sneh, as the off spin bowling all-rounder has often been in and out of the national set-up. But her amazing performances in Sri Lanka proved once again that she remains a key player for India. Before the tri-series, Sneh manifested picking a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul - she achieved the latter via 5-43 against South Africa in the league stage.

“It felt very good, because I got a chance to wear ODI jersey again after a very long time. So, I manifested that it would be good and it happened in that way. I also manifested that a fifer and hat-trick should come. But at least I was able to achieve one of them. When you represent your team and country and your performances were excellent, that feels very great,” said Sneh to in an exclusive conversation.
