Some Lesser Known Facts

Sonia Mendhiya is a talented Indian cricketer who was part of the victorious ICC Under-19 Indian Women’s team during the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2023.
She hails from a Dalit family and tragically lost her father at the tender age of four, leading her mother to work at an anganwadi, earning Rs. 2500 to support Sonia and her siblings.
Growing up, Sonia accompanied her mother to the anganwadi, where she enjoyed playing with plastic balls with the children and later played with a wooden thapi with her friends.
Despite initial resistance from her mother when expressing her desire to pursue cricket, Sonia's unwavering passion for the sport ultimately won her family and neighbors' encouragement and support.
At the age of thirteen, Sonia embarked on her cricket journey and enrolled in the Shri Ram Academy on Jhajjar Road, Rohtak to hone her skills.
In an interview, Sonia's mother recounted her daughter's dedication, mentioning how Sonia traveled solo on a rickshaw for 20-25 kilometers from their village to the academy. Her mother expressed pride in Sonia's achievements and aspirations for her to continue representing India on the cricket field.
Sonia showcased her talent in various tournaments, delivering impressive performances such as scoring significant runs and taking wickets in the U-19 One Day Trophy, U-19 T20 Trophy, U-19 Challenger Trophy, Quadrangular series, and the New Zealand Development tour.
Selected for the U-19 women’s squad, Sonia played a key role in the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2023, fueled by her admiration for cricketer Rishabh Pant and sporting a tattoo of the word 'mom' on her right hand.
