After Alyssa Healy's dazzling century powered the defending champions to victory, India head coach Amol Mazumdar lauded the fighting spirit of his young side, especially rising stars Kranti Gaud and Sree Charani.

Not all losses are created equal, and given Australia had to shatter records to chase down India’s imposing total of 331, Mazumdar was quick to acknowledge the high-quality cricket on display. “I think they have been exceptional,” Mazumdar told the media post-game, referring to his young bowlers.

“If you see Kranti Gaud bowling and today Sree Charani against Australia, against top quality players, she ended up giving 40-odd runs in her 10 overs and picked up those important wickets. I think they have been exceptional, both of them,” he said.
