We have seen videos of young kids copying the bowling actions of Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Jasprit Bumrah and others. But this 4-year-old girl from Balasore district, Odisha, is making the internet go crazy with her batting skills. Sudhruti is a huge MS Dhoni fan and is nicknamed ‘Mahi’ by her parents, who are ardent cricket fans.
Similar to Dhoni, the 4-year-old favours her bottom hand and tries to hit the ball as straight as possible. It is amazing to see a kid drawing her front foot forward and hitting the ball firmly. At times, she even attempts Dhoni’s trademark ‘helicopter shot’.
The girl seems to be training on a terrace with nets installed at the batting end.
There she is. The 4 year old wonder from Odisha’s Balasore city. Look at those commitment in her eyes. pic.twitter.com/l4FudtKOln

Spotting raw talent
Great hand-eye coordination & foot work too. Definitely a future star, hope authorities take note of her. @BCCIWomen
