Rubina Chhetry's rise in the cricketing world is nothing short of inspiring; starting from the dusty, unassuming corners of Kathmandu’s local cricket grounds, she quickly became a name synonymous with resilience and skill. Born on the first day of the new millennium, Rubina displayed an early penchant for sports. Cricket was not just a pastime for her; it was a passion that burned fiercely, spurring her to pursue it single-mindedly.

As a young girl in Nepal, where cricket had yet to claim the kind of feverish following it has in neighbouring countries, Rubina’s determination set her apart. Her journey to the professional stage didn’t happen overnight. Attending school in Kathmandu, she balanced academics and frequent hours on the pitch. The relentless nets sessions honed her into a formidable allrounder capable of turning games with both bat and ball. Blessed with an adaptable batting approach, Rubina’s natural ability to read the game allowed her to mould her innings according to the situation. A dependable middle-order batter, she often executed breathtaking shots with a flair that left spectators in awe.

Her professional debut came as a significant milestone in 2018 when Rubina donned her national colours for Nepal’s women’s team. This was a moment she had dreamt of since playing in local club matches that teased the borders of obscurity. Her bowling style is just as versatile as her batting; whether it’s the off-spin that foxes the batsmen or the occasional faster delivery that surprises them, her skills are indispensable to her team.

One of Rubina’s defining matches occurred during the 2022 ACC Women’s Asia Cup, where her all-round performance against Bangladesh saw her scoring a crucial 45 runs and taking three pivotal wickets. This match etched her name in the annals of Nepali cricket history. Her rivalry with neighbouring nations, particularly against India, has only added layers to her narrative, intensifying local cricket cultures and linking her name to those epic contests.

Rubina’s contribution to her team’s ICC Women's T20 Qualifiers victory in 2021 further solidified her as a national hero. Her cricketing journey is marked not just by the records she has set or broken, but by the legacy she is building—of inspiration for young girls across Nepal, proving that with passion and dedication, boundaries are only there to be pushed.
