This is not the first time a child playing cricket has captured hearts and made headlines. Recently, Sonia, 6, went viral for a stunning pull shot that drew comparisons to Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Her natural technique and poise wowed fans, reinforcing how cricket is capturing young hearts.

The clip was posted by English cricket umpire Richard Kettleborough on X, where he admired Sonia’s skill and noted her remarkable timing and technique. While the bowler releases the ball, Sonia moves into position confidently and makes contact with the shot with striking accuracy, a remarkable achievement for a player her age. The clip went viral on social media platforms in no time, with fans, former cricketers, and cricket commentators all hailing it.
