Well, if you belong to the millennial generation and don't feel the need to use a smartphone at the age of 18, people might mistake you for being antisocial. Some might even single you out for being, perhaps, the only nerd in the group. Deepti Bhagwan Sharma - the versatile of versatilities in a game that she deeply loves - may not fit the modernized and ever-changing definition of trendy, but the star Indian all-rounder had her priorities set, in life of course, at a time when most of her fellow beings got busy schooling their brains regarding the brewing perks of social media.

To sum up Deepti's austerity in a nutshell would be: technology rather drifted into her life only after she was told about the need to be present in a common WhatsApp group of the Indian squad members.
