One of the dominant female players, now playing for Goa Challengers, has her eyes set on the team prize.
In a conversation with this daily, she spoke on the tournament, how it has helped youngsters, her journey and more. Excerpts:
On UTT season five
The last season was amazing for me and the team (Yangzi played for Chennai Lions in the fourth season) made it to the final. It was a shame that we lost the final, but my experience of the tournament, last year and this year has been good. I am thankful that they asked me to come back to play in India again. Last year, I did not lose a single match and I think, the team helped me a lot, including coaches and other teammates. It was a different tournament compared to how we usually play, so I was not that comfortable in the beginning.
