When asked about the source of her motivation, Bhatia highlighted the unwavering support of her family. She spent a few days in Scotland with her parents and sister before the Test, a trip that helped her unwind and recharge. "My father's dream was for my sister and me to excel in sports; we chose cricket," she explained. Bhatia also praised her mother's meticulous care of her diet and daily routine during rehab, noting that a six‑month stay together in Bangalore kept her spirits high. The combination of spiritual thankfulness, parental backing, and team camaraderie helped her finish the innings on a high note.
