For her heroics in her first ODI Priya was awarded the player of the match award. The cricketer made her international debut against New Zealand in a T20I earlier this year.The Jaipur-born cricketer said she was a little nervous at the beginning as there was a bit of pressure to do well."It was my ODI debut so I was obviously a bit nervous. I was playing slowly at the start of my innings because I was taking time to get set in the middle. After my partner got out I had to maintain the run rate and I was ready to start playing my shots by then. That is what I did. I'm happy that I performed well during my debut and that I was there till the last and also that my team won. It was even better because my father was there and it was a great experience," said Priya.The cricketer also expressed delight at associating with Fast&Up and said: "The variety of products that the brand offers addresses different issues for various athletes. The best part is it also tastes good. I hope the Fast&Up research and development team continue working on new products that will help boost recovery of athletes like us."Fast&Up is in partnership with over 100 Indian athletes which include Indian cricketer Mayank Agarwal, India's highest ranked table tennis player Sathiyan Gnanasekaran and footballer Iain Hume.( With inputs from IANS )
