India women’s cricket vice-captain Smriti Mandhana recently became the focus of attention after confirming that her wedding with music composer Palash Muchhal has been called off. Amid the news, a clip of her interview with Humans of Bombay from three years ago has resurfaced, highlighting her inspiring approach to life and handling difficult times.
In the interview, Mandhana explained how she deals with challenges by focusing on short-term goals rather than dwelling on setbacks. She said, “If I feel low today, I will just start writing what I have to work on for the next six or seven days, in my batting or in my fitness. Once I start doing that, I just forget what’s happening and focus on what I have to do.”
Resilience Through Routine
Mandhana revealed that maintaining a simple routine helps her stay motivated. She believes in looking forward to the days ahead and finding purpose in small steps. “When I change my headspace into what I have to do in the next 6-7 days, I feel like there’s so much to look forward to,” she shared. Her words reflect a mindset built over years of navigating cricket pressures, expectations, and criticism.
