Who is Niki Prasad, who led India to Under-19 World Cup 2025 victory?

Niki Prasad led India's Women's Team to victory in the Under-19 T20 World Cup on Sunday. The 19-year-old from Karnataka, part of Delhi Capitals, began her cricket journey by tagging alongside her cousin to a playground. She'd play with boys as there were no girls in the academies. She started as a batter but eventually added off-spin to her armoury.
