Poonam Yadav may have been third time unlucky to clinch a hat-trick but her father Raghuveer Singh is sure that "one day" luck will shine.
"She came close to it [hat-trick] twice, but lady luck did not favour her.
However, I am sure she will grab the hat-trick one day," Yadav Sr said on Friday. "We are happy that her performance won her the Player of the Match award," he added.
Yadav's father is a retired Army officer. He watched the match from a college in Hathras in Uttar Pradesh where he is a lecturer, while his family followed the Down Under action from their home in Agra.
