Deepti Sharma broke several records while contributing to India's Women's World Cup 2025 title-winning run. The 28-year-old all-rounder was adjudged with the Player of the Tournament for her all-round display of 215 runs and 22 wickets.
She shone in the all-important clash against South Africa at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai as well. Deepti's performance of 58 off 58 and 5/39 in 9.3 overs made her the first cricketer to score a fifty and bag five wickets in a Men's or Women's World Cup knockout game. She became the first women's cricketer for India in ODIs to achieve the coveted double.
Deepti's all-round performance have drawn comparisons to Yuvraj Singh, who played in the 2011 World Cup and bagged the same award for his all-round brilliance in India's titular win. Her performance in the mega event has been garnering a lot of praise from ex-international cricketers and the cricket fraternity in general.
