As mentioned, Shreyanka Patil has not recovered from her ankle ligament injury that had ruled her out of the Women's T20 World Cup.

Her replacement, Rawat, played one match in the tournament against South Africa. She scored 3* (2) before going wicketless in two overs for 21 runs.

India were later eliminated from the tournament, losing their last league game to Australia.
