Swara Jadhav: 13-Year-Old Mumbai Left-Arm Spinner Turning Heads in Senior Women’s Cricket
It’s not every day that a 13-year-old calmly runs in and bowls to India internationals and seasoned domestic stars. But that’s exactly what Swara Jadhav is doing, match after match, in Mumbai’s competitive women’s cricket circuit.
Swara Jadhav, a 13-year-old left-arm spin bowler from Mumbai, has been quietly building a strong reputation with her performances in senior women’s tournaments, showing maturity well beyond her age.
Strong Impact in Prakash Puranik Women’s Cricket Tournament
Swara represented Glorious Cricket Club in the Prakash Puranik Women’s Cricket Tournament and made an immediate impact with the ball.
In the match between Glorious Cricket Club vs Payyade Cricket Club, Swara bowled a tight spell of 4 overs and picked up 3 crucial wickets, breaking partnerships and controlling the middle overs with discipline and confidence.
She followed it up with another effective performance in the match between Glorious Cricket Club vs Victory Cricket Club, where she once again contributed with a wicket, continuing her consistent run throughout the tournament.
Her performances did not go unnoticed. At the end of the tournament, Swara Jadhav was awarded the Emerging Player of the Tournament, a significant achievement for someone competing against far more experienced players.
Continuing the Momentum in Late Arjun Madhavi Women’s Trophy
Swara carried the same rhythm into the 6th Late Arjun Madhavi Women’s Trophy. Playing for Glorious Cricket Club against DV Foundation, she once again found success, adding another wicket to her growing tally in senior-level cricket.
Bowling to Her Heroes, Learning with Every Over
What makes Swara’s journey even more special is the level of competition she is facing. At just 13, she is opening her left-arm spin bowling against some of the most respected names in Indian women’s cricket, including:
Mahi Thakker
Bowling to players she has grown up watching, Swara has shown remarkable patience and control. Instead of chasing wickets, she focuses on bowling dot balls, building pressure, and waiting for opportunities. That approach has already started delivering results in the form of crucial breakthroughs.
A Promising Future Ahead
Swara Jadhav’s performances across tournaments highlight more than just wickets. They reflect composure, game awareness, and the ability to compete at a level far above her age group. The experience of bowling in senior women’s matches at such an early stage is shaping her into a confident and thoughtful spin bowler.
