NEW DELHI — Yastika Bhatia, the dynamic wicket‑keeper for India, revealed that her recent injury transformed her outlook on the game. During a Badoda Cricket Association press briefing, she reflected on the disappointment of missing the home World Cup and the Women’s Premier League due to an ACL tear. The long rehabilitation taught her patience, perseverance and the need to rely on a structured recovery plan.
