Rajasthan Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore recently played a few balls against young left-arm bowler Sushila Meena in the nets. Such was the level of similarity between Sushila and former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan that even the minister could not resist making comparisons. Weeks ago, Sushila was living life normally in the village. Everything changed overnight after cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar shared a video of her bowling. Her smooth action, almost like Zaheer Khan, got everyone talking. Rajyavardhan shared on X, as he posted a video in which he was batting, and Sushila was bowling to him. In this video, Rajyavardhan was so unlucky that in his attempt of a drive, a perfect ball crashed into middle stump. On X, Rajyavardhan wrote: "Bitiya se clean bowled hokar hum sab jeet gaye (We all won after getting clean bowled by the young daughter)."

She had discovered her interest in cricket three years ago when there was not much to help her and she had no proper training. Ishwarlal Meena is her coach, who has been guiding her, helping her develop her skills. Sushila's father, Ratna Meena, thanked Sachin Tendulkar for bringing out the talent in his daughter. He feels that this exposure will bring him closer to his dream of becoming a professional cricketer. Ratna said: "I want to thank Sachin Tendulkar. It was because of him my daughter went viral." Sushila had not found it easy to balance her school and cricket, but she is now more focused because of the dedication of both herself and her coach. She is now getting proper training and better facilities that will help her grow. From a small village to gaining national attention, the journey of Sushila reflects how passion and hard work can lead to success with limited opportunities.
