India women's cricketer Smriti Mandhana recently provided her fans with a glimpse into her cricketing journey.

Smriti posted a cool throwback picture from her younger days on social media site Instagram and had a lovely captioned to go with it: "It all began with me watching my brother play cricket. One day I decided to pick up the bat as well and started playing. At an early age of nine, I got through the Maharashtra U-15 team and since then I decided to take this up as a sport professionally. Thankfully, I have immense support from my family, who have helped me get to where I am today."
