What did Nandini Sharma say about taking a hat-trick?
After taking the hat-trick, Nandini Sharma said, ‘My entire focus was only on bowling at my target. Shefali and Jemima were talking to me before every ball, and the plan was simple, attack the stumps. I was not expecting a hat-trick, but the team was constantly saying that wickets would definitely be taken. After my first over, I decided to change my bowling, and it proved effective.
