Indu Barma’s journey to becoming Nepal’s maiden woman cricketer to cross 1,000-run mark in T20Is

The skipper reached the historic milestone with an unbeaten 48 against Malaysia—her 77th appearance for Nepal—leading the side to a series-levelling win in Kuala Lumpur.

Indu Barma has been associated with Nepali cricket since 2010, after she represented the country in the defence of the ACC U19 Women’s Championship title in Singapore. But despite starting early, her numbers got recorded in international cricket only after Nepal and all ICC members were granted full WT20I status in July 2018.
