LUCKNOW: From playing gully cricket on the streets of Chandigarh to now bowling for Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League (WPL), young pacer Kashvee Gautam is striding towards her dream to represent the country. She finds the WPL an opportunity for cricketers like her to dream big.

The 21-year-old is working hard on her speed and accuracy and doesn't mind being hit as bowlers do go for runs in white-ball cricket. "I enjoy bowling with speed and accuracy, and am happy that I am contributing to the team's success," Gautam said on Wednesday.

She said getting into the Indian team for the ODI World Cup in India later this year wasn't her target now. Instead, she was focusing on her performance and her side's victory in WPL. "I am not thinking too far ahead. I am living match by match. I've to play my next match against Delhi Capitals and then against Mumbai Indians," she said.
