However, in his reply, Powar dismissed her claims and accused her of 'blackmailing and pressurising coaches.' Powar further said, "despite being a senior player in the team she puts in minimum inputs in team meetings. She could not understand & adapt to the team plan. She ignored her role and batted for own milestones. Lack of keeping the momentum going which was putting extra pressure on other batters."
