All-rounder Shikha at peace, hoping to tackle one game at a time

WHEN Shikha Pandey came into the 2025 Women's Premier League season, she felt she was in rhythm with regards to her bowling. And with good reason. In the last 12 months, Pandey had played in three T20 tournament finals - WPL, Caribbean Premier League and Women's Big Bash League - and had also taken part in the Super Smash in New Zealand, coming back with a wealth of experiences and memories.

In the very first match against Mumbai Indians, her feeling was reaffirmed. Pandey ran in with the new ball, made it hop around like she had cast a spell on it and returned with the figures of 2/14 in four overs, helping her team get off the mark in a thrilling finish. In less than a week, she was on the receiving end of an onslaught from UP Warriorz's Kiran Navgire up-front and Chinelle Henry in the back end — a 0/43 finish in four overs.
