Kavya secured this prestigious title for the North India region, which comprises Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. 

Tanya Sood, another talented young woman from Ambala, Haryana, was adjudged as the runner-up in the same competition. 

Kavya and Tanya had the unique opportunity to engage with British Deputy High Commissioner Caroline Rowett and other members of the British Deputy High Commission in Chandigarh. Their experience extended to Patiala, where they had an enriching interaction with Punjab Police Constable Gulab Singh Shergill, a passionate advocate for women's cricket in rural areas, and his enthusiastic group of young female cricketers.
