Recently a video went viral amongst the fans were fielding at boundary line in a game playing Brisbane Heat, Veda took an outstanding catch at the mid wicket area when she dived forward beautifully and completed the catch.
She very nonchalantly threw the ball away while her teammates gathered around all over her to celebrate. It was really one of the best catches taken in the tournament.
Veda has always come across as a cricketer with a lot of flair and style which makes her eye-catching even her batting is very famous for her extravagant big hitting.
