India women have been in roaring form after whitewashing South Africa Women in the ODI series by 3-0 and later winning the one-off Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Women in Blue will next take on the Proteas in the three-match T20I series starting from July 5 in Chennai. Ahead of the game, Harmanpreet Kaur and her subordinates were seen offering prayers at the famous Tirupati Balaji Temple in Andhra Pradesh.
The India captain was accompanied by Shafali Verma, Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Singh. Talking about Shafali, the India opener notched up a double ton in the first innings of the one-off Test and became only the second Indian to do so after Mithali Raj. Meanwhile, Deepti Sharma was also spotted along with other players.
Here’s the video of cricketers visiting the temple:

The Indian openers made sure they did not give any positive aspect for the Proteas to cheer and chased down the target without losing any wickets. Sneh Rana was termed the Player of the Match for her splendid 10 wickets, combined in both innings.
