IN the depths of the internet, specifically on Instagram, lies an account that identifies itself as a "Fruit and Vegetable Shop." The bio of this account helps one make sense of that identification. It reads, "Some very raw produce here..." and the account is called 'philms by phoebs'. And yes, it is run by Australian international Phoebe Litchfield. The account with just over 100 followers is where Litchfield is not a dual sports prodigy who took the world by storm at the age of 15 or the one who is the youngest full-time captain in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). It's just the place where the 21-year-old is just a goofy college kid.

"God, I forgot about that one. I haven't done much on it recently," Litchfield told this daily before the playoffs of the Women's Premier League in Mumbai for Gujarat Giants and she had a good reason behind it. "I have just been too busy. But, I'm studying media and comms at University and doing a kind of film degree in that. I just keep practicing with my camera. A bit of creativity on tour, but also at home. That's pretty much how it came about," she added.
