CHENNAI, July 9: Indian women's cricket team fielding coach Munish Bali lauded Uma Chetry for her fielding skills, and said the young wicket-keeper is a " truly hard-working cricketer".
Chetry, 21, made her T20 International debut against South Africa in the abandoned second game of the three-match series here on Sunday, and inflicted a stumping off Deepti Sharma's bowling to get rid of a well-settled Tanzim Brits.
This was after Chetry had earlier missed a similar chance against Brits as she collected the ball ahead of the stumps.
But Bali backed the youngster and recalled how she had bravely fielded at the short-leg during the Test match against South Africa last week.
"I was happy when she was handed her debut cap. During the Test, she fielded for around 70-80 overs -- she is a brave girl," he said during the post-match press conference.
