Medhavi Bidhuri: The Leg-Spinner Making Waves in Delhi’s Premier League

A 20-year-old leg-spinner is quietly making her mark in the Women’s Adani Delhi Premier League. Medhavi Bidhuri, born in 2005, currently sits atop the wicket-taking charts with five dismissals in four matches, establishing herself as one of the tournament’s most promising young talents.

Bidhuri’s campaign opened with a strong statement against South Delhi Superstarz, a side she represented in previous editions. She claimed 2 for 24 in that contest, building on a steady trajectory that has seen her wicket tally grow from four in 2024 to five in 2025, and now five in the current tournament with matches still to play.

Her bowling has drawn attention for its control and variety. Bidhuri has mastered the leg-break and googly, mixing her variations with an economy rate around 6.9 runs per over, a commendable figure in the shorter format. Beyond her primary skill, she has also contributed handy cameos with the bat, earning admiration from fans who have spotted her in the yellow kit and begun to view her as a rising star for Indian women’s cricket.

Interestingly, Bidhuri’s standout performance this season came against the very team she used to play for. Having switched from South Delhi Superstarz ahead of the 2026 edition, she made an immediate impact against her former employers, underscoring her development as a bowler capable of delivering under pressure.

The tournament continues through early September, and with her team pushing for higher honours, Bidhuri’s role will be pivotal in the matches ahead. Her form offers a glimpse of the depth emerging in Indian women’s cricket, with the leg-spinner emerging as one to watch in the domestic circuit.
