The Inner Story: Motherhood ke baad comeback aur ab Alvida
Khel ke maidan par
Lauren Down
ki journey kisi inspiration se kam nahi rahi. 2018 mein
West Indies
ke khilaaf debut karne waali is middle-order batter ne hamesha team ke liye resilience dikhayi. Sabse badi baat ye rahi ki unhone 2023-24 season mein motherhood ke liye break liya, central contract chhoda, aur phir 2024-25 mein shandaar wapsi ki. Unhone
England
aur
India
ke tours par bhi
White Ferns
ko represent kiya, jo dikhata hai ki unka dedication kis level ka tha.
Retirement announce karte waqt
Lauren Down
ne kaha ki unhe apne desh ko represent karne ka garv hai. Unhone
New Zealand Cricket
aur apne domestic side
Auckland Cricket
ka shukriya ada kiya. Head coach Ben Sawyer ne bhi unhe ek "fantastic team person" bataya, jo on and off the field hamesha ek role model rahi hain.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Lauren Down ka 30 ki umar mein jana New Zealand ke liye ek tactical jhatka hai. Halanki unke numbers utne massive nahi dikhte, lekin unka temperament hamesha solid raha. Motherhood ke baad itni jaldi international level par wapsi karna unki mental toughness ka saboot hai. Auckland cricket ke liye wo ek Legend hain, aur White Ferns ko unke jaisa selfless player dhundhne mein waqt lagega. We wish her a great second innings off the field!
