Assam's Jintimani Kalita Makes India Debut in Women's ODI Against Zimbabwe
Jintimani Kalita, a 22-year-old pacer from Assam, made her India debut in the first women's ODI against Zimbabwe in Vadodara, receiving her maiden cap from Harmanpreet Kaur. She replaced Renuka Singh Thakur, who was sidelined to manage her workload. Kalita is the second woman from Assam to represent India at the senior level and the first from Northeast India to play in the Women's Premier League. Though wicketless on debut, her selection marks a significant milestone in her cricketing career and highlights Assam's growing presence in Indian women's cricket.
