In February 2021, Bhatia earned her maiden call-up to the India women's cricket team, for their limited overs matches against South Africa.[4][5][6] Bhatia said that her selection to the national team was surreal, and thanked her coach and club for the opportunity.[7] She had also played for the India Women's A team during their tour of Australia in December 2019.[8]

In January 2022, she was named in India's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[15] In July 2022, she was named in India's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.[16]

She was named in the India squad for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup[17] and their home ODI series against New Zealand in October 2024.[18]
