Personal history
Born on January 2nd, 1982, in Sikhipur to a Punjabi father and Saraiki-speaking mother, Nishi Kapoor was the younger of two siblings, with an older brother Rohan Kapoor, who played a bit of international cricket himself. When they were children, their father, Anshuman Kapoor, would often encourage them to be rambunctious and adventurous. This behavior would eventually lead the two to sports, where they would both pick up cricket at a similar time. Starting off as a batting all-rounder, Nishi would eventually transition to wicket-keeping, since her school's team was often without one. However, she continued to bowl once every often in order to remain familiar with it. Once it came time for University, Nishi was actually offered a full ride scholarship for cricket to Bahadur Alamgir University in Kotch, Hindustan province. After that, she made her debut for the International side in 2005, at the age of 23, playing for a second-string ODI team against South Africa, which came directly after the World Cup that year. After that, she would work her way up to the main team, becoming a mainstay by 2008. Additionally, in 2008, Nishi would wed her husband, Ranveer Kapoor. Eventually, she would give birth to two daughters in 2011 and 2013, named Kashi and Dhara Kapoor respectively. Kapoor retired from T20s in 2015, citing that she wanted to spend more time with her family, especially her children. In 2017, after the conclusion of the ODI World Cup, Kapoor would retire from ODIs, followed by a retirement from International Cricket at the end of 2017, calling time on a 12-year career. Since her retirement, she has returned to Nishari in the form of a coach for the side's wicketkeepers.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Kapoor's first century came in 2007, in an ODI match vs India. Batting at number 5, Kapoor managed to score 105*(120), and ended up hitting the winning runs. Kapoor's all-time stats include 20 centuries, 6 of which came from Tests, while the other 14 were from ODIs, as well as 60 fifties. Additionally, Kapoor's highest score is 212(307), which came in a test against England in 2012.
Nishi Kapoor was appointed captain of the Nishari Women's Team for one test series against England in April 2013, soon after the conclusion of the WODI world cup, in which Kapoor played an integral part in winning. She was appointed captain due to both Arisha Sume and Maya Paracha, the captain and vice-captain respectively, becoming injured. During the series, Kapoor played in every match, while unknowingly being 1 month pregnant with her second child.
While primarily a wicket-keeper, Nishi has bowled a couple times in test matches, owing to her origins as a Pace bowling batting allrounder. During her bowling career, Kapoor has amassed 9 wickets, with 2 coming from Tests, while the other 7 came from ODIs.
