Far from disappointed at being overlooked for ODIs despite her swashbuckling T20 show, India's teenage batting sensation Shafali Verma says it motivates her to work harder as "deep down", she knows there is "something" lacking in her game. The 17-year-old was adjudged player of the series in the 1-2 T20 loss to South Africa in a series that ended here on Tuesday.

Her 30-ball 60 in the final match was instrumental in giving India a consolation win. However, her devastating T20 form, which has earned her the top position in the ICC rankings for the shortest format, has not been enough to get her a place in the ODI side, but she is not complaining. "When I wasn't picked for the one-dayers, I felt somewhere I might be lacking something," Verma said in an online press conference after the match. "But I did not go ask the captain or the coach, because I knew deep down that if my name was not there, it is probably because I only lack something," she added.
