Deepti Sharma is one of India’s finest all-format cricketers, a left-handed batter and right-arm off-spinner who has delivered consistently on the biggest stages. The 28-year-old from Agra first captured attention as an 18-year-old when she became the youngest Indian to take an ODI five-wicket haul, but her true arrival came in 2017 with a world-record 320-run opening stand alongside Punam Raut, during which she scored 188 against Ireland. Since then, Deepti has become the heartbeat of India’s women’s team, playing a pivotal role in their historic 2025 ODI World Cup triumph, where she was named Player of the Tournament for her 22 wickets and 215 runs, including a Player of the Match performance in the final with 58 runs and 5 for 39. Her ability to keep things tight with the ball and contribute crucial runs down the order has made her indispensable across formats, with Test five-fors and WPL hat-tricks adding to her growing legacy. A globetrotting franchise player who has starred in the WBBL, the Hundred, and the WPL, Deepti Sharma has cemented her place as one of the greatest allrounders in Indian women’s cricket history.
