The story: A torn finger ligament sustained mid-match, sidelining her and jeopardising her Inter-Zonal selection.

The GSF impact: She was referred to specialist sports physician Dr. Deepak Bhatia, with a focused rehabilitation plan of rest, medication, and structured physiotherapy, alongside continuous monitoring.

The result: Despite the injury, she scored a match-winning century and won Player of the Match — then went on to make her List-A debut for East Zone, scoring 47 runs.
