While the Women In Blue have only played one match so far at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup this year, three stars have clearly become players to watch out for.
First up, unsurprisingly, is Smriti Mandhana. After a batting collapse early on against Pakistan, she held the fort on one end, and smashed 68 runs off 44 deliveries.
India's wicketkeeper, Richa Ghosh, then played an explosive cameo down the order, hammering 34 runs off 17 balls to push the team's total to 170.
Deepti Sharma starred with the ball in the second innings, registering remarkable figures of 5/10 in her four-over spell, as India demolished Pakistan, winning the match by 64 runs.
