BENGALURU :India's triumphant World Cup campaign has left Shafali Verma hungry for more silverware, with the 21-year-old opening batter determined to make winning a habit.

Called into the squad to replace the injured Pratika Rawal before the knockout stages, Verma seized her opportunity with 87 runs and two wickets in the final to be named player of the match in India's 52-run win over South Africa this month.

"This is just the beginning. We have to make this a habit," Verma told Reuters.

The World Cup winners' medal is the latest addition to Verma's trophy cabinet, which also includes the 2023 Under-19 World Cup, the 2022 Asia Cup, the 2022 Asian Games gold medal and the 2022 Commonwealth Games silver.
