Bal Bhavan School Cricket Academy: The Delhi women’s cricket continues to unearth fresh talent, and leading the charge is 12-year-old Chakshita, a rising star from the Bal Bhavan School Cricket Academy in Dwarka. Making waves in the recently launched Women’s T20 Cricket League by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), Chakshita’s mature and composed batting has already turned heads.

In just five innings in the Delhi Women’s T20 League, Chakshita scored 115 runs at a remarkable average of 57.50, remaining unbeaten in three matches. Her calmness at the crease and ability to rotate strike and find gaps set her apart from her peers, making her one of the most talked-about young players in the competition.

Her performances didn’t go unnoticed. At the Women’s Delhi Premier League (WDPL) auction earlier this year, Chakshita was signed by the South Delhi Superstarz, becoming the youngest female player ever to receive a WDPL contract. The milestone is a major leap in her young career and reflects the league’s commitment to promoting emerging talent.
