Ashleigh Gardner: India a Future Powerhouse, Australia Still Best

• Ashleigh Gardner believes Australia remains the world's best women's cricket team despite recent challenges.
• Gardner acknowledges India's rapid improvement, predicting they will be a formidable force in women's cricket within 5-10 years.
• She will play for Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League, starting January 9.
• Gardner expresses confidence in Gujarat Giants' ability to win WPL, despite lacking a frontline Indian batter, relying on overseas talent like Beth Mooney.
• Renuka Singh Thakur emphasizes the Indian team's commitment to maintaining high standards and improving mental strength for future goals, including the T20 World Cup in England.
