From the playgrounds of her hometown, where she first picked up a bat at eight, to the grand stadiums she commands today, her rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

Her early potential was apparent with a breakthrough at the local level by her teenage years, dominating age-group tournaments with her powerful right-hand batting and versatile right-arm fast-medium bowling.

In a particularly thrilling match in 2019, her unbeaten 98 and a crucial three-wicket effort led her team to a narrow victory and further established her reputation as a clutch performer.

Renowned for her aggressive yet technically sound batting, Kabita is as comfortable smashing boundaries as she is manoeuvring the ball with finesse. Her bowling, marked by sharp swing and decisive pace changes, has often unsettled even the most accomplished batters.
