That day she felt that the coaching center was near her eyes and the next day she went there and played cricket for the first time. She liked the game so much that she started going to the center daily and at the age of 15, she started playing cricket. When she was practicing, her studies were affected. She was not able to get good marks in school, so her father asked her to stop playing. He stopped playing cricket for two years, but his mind was always focused on sports. She kept looking for a coaching center that trained women and when she found one, she was afraid to tell her father, so she requested coach Pachu Gopal Majhi to come to her house for her father’s convenience. Did. Her father agreed and she started training when she was in 10th grade. In an interview he talked about this and said,
This happened when Sir, Mr. Panchu Gopal Majhi came to my house and convinced my parents, they allowed me to play cricket. And since that day he has given everything for my cricket and I am happy that I can give him back in my own way. My mother has been a source of inspiration for me. We don’t discuss much about my game at home but he has been my staunch supporter. I am currently in Kolkata for practice. I called my family and they are very happy for me. It feels like the sacrifices he’s made for my game are finally paying off.”
When she joined the coaching centre, she played with boys playing state and first-class matches, which helped her raise the level of her game.
