Sports Desk: Parunika Sisodia, the left-arm spinner who took 10 wickets in India's U19 Women's T20 World Cup triumph says, ‘To be honest, inside the team, we didn't have that much of pressure, which people could feel outside. But inside it was quite calm, and we just knew that there's going to be one good ball and we're going to get back in the game. That ball came with me because I think at that point of time, I had made that much trust in my team that if I am there, you're going to be okay.’ Since then, to be actually going there and winning that World Cup for India, that moment was giving me goosebumps. Even talking about it is literally giving me goosebumps now, and that was like the happiest moment I've ever felt.

00:00I think I have never felt so well. What I felt after winning that World Cup. It was a dream for me because as I told you earlier, I was not there in the first inaugural World Cup.
00:14Just with a short cut, I was not there and then actually going there and winning that World Cup for India. That moment was giving me goosebumps and even talking about it literally gave me goosebumps now.
00:31That was like the happiest moment I have ever felt.
00:35I think we had no idea what we were doing. We were so happy that we were just raising our hands and no one had any idea what we were doing. We were just laughing and taking in that moment that we have finally won.
00:52I think all I have ever worked on from past two years is how to make myself useful for the team and how to do things in ways where I can make sure that the team is going to win from here.
01:06When I saw I was actually doing it, I was very excited to come back home and see my videos and how I have done it because I know somewhere that I have achieved a little part of it.
01:19To be honest, inside the team, we did not have that much of pressure which people could feel outside but inside it was quite calm and we just knew that there is going to be one good ball and we are going to go back in game.
01:35That ball came with me because I think at that point of time, I made that much trust in my team that if I am there, you are going to be okay.
01:46I think we have been playing together from so long that all of us are family only and anyone of us was getting wickets, it literally felt like it is our wicket.
02:00There is this thing which we have created right now. Whenever we were in the World Cup, any of us was bowling. We were just looking in the eye and we just knew what other person was saying to us.
02:13I think that has been the best part in that spinners group that you just know what the other person is doing and what I have to do next.
02:23How the batters in our team have shown partnership, I think the bowlers have done the same for the bowling side now.
02:33Laxman sir told us just one thing, I mean not one thing, there were many things but it concluded on one thing to just be calm at any moment given and always keep the things simple and not overthink much and overdo things.
02:49I think which has helped all of us there in the finals and the semis as well.
02:55Creating that legacy in women's cricket now to keep winning those trophies as Neena Nikki has mentioned it a lot of times that we are here to dominate and that was the goal.
03:07To be out there, be ruthless and just go for it no matter what which has given us a very good result.
03:15We feel quite satisfied with that but definitely we are focused on the coming up things now.
03:23I think she is one of the calmest person I have ever met.
03:27Even if a lot of time it has happened that one of the girls from the left armers group has done something which can piss anyone off.
03:39She was there, she was calm and she just gave a very calm response that don't do that, do it like this or she has always given a positive response to us.
03:52I think that is something which has also helped us to be there and be ourselves.
03:56I think we all went crazy there.
03:59Someone was dancing on the ground and someone was even lying on the ground.
04:03We had quite an interesting photo shoot over there which you must have seen now on all of our posts.
04:12The one with Pooki?
04:15Yes, the one with Pooki and Bhabhi, this Hardik Pandya match.
04:18And I guess there is more of it which is going to come now.
04:23Obviously, stepping into the senior team is the main goal but for now I think I have my domestic cricket coming up.
04:30The under 23 one dayers and the multi-days.
04:34So, I will be focusing on that for now and then we have this emerging Asia Cup so I am eyeing on that.
