Anushka Sharma is having a difficult time excelling her cricket skills before beginning filming for Chakda Xpress. She posted a selfie of herself taking a short break after a practice session on Wednesday. Her selfie showed her wearing a white T-shirt and her hair tied back. She held her fist to her lips and looked at the camera.

"Kaash bachpan mein kuch toh cricket khela hota toh aaj haalat aise na hoti (I wish I had played some cricket as a child, perhaps I would not have suffered as much as I do now)," she wrote alongside a photo of herself. In the film, Anushka will be portraying the role of cricketer Jhulan Goswami.

A teaser for Chakda 'Xpress was released in January. Anushka wrote in her post about the film, "Chakda Xpress is inspired by the life and times of former Indian captain Jhulan Goswami and will be an eye-opener into the world of women's cricket. When Jhulan decided to become a cricketer and represent her country on the international stage, it was extremely difficult for women to even consider playing the sport. This film is a dramatic retelling of several events in her life as well as in women's cricket."
