Indian All-rounder Deepti Sharma Achieves Unprecedented T20I Milestone
Trivandrum, India – Indian Women’s Cricket team star Deepti Sharma has etched her name in the record books, becoming the only cricketer globally to achieve a unique double in Women’s T20 International (T20I) cricket. During the third T20I match of the five-match series against Sri Lanka at the Greenfield International Stadium, Deepti surpassed the milestone.
Sharma has now scored over 1000 runs and taken more than 150 wickets in T20I cricket, a feat unmatched by any other player, male or female. Furthermore, with her three-wicket haul against Sri Lanka, Deepti equaled Australian bowler Megan Schutt for the most wickets in Women’s T20Is, both boasting 151 wickets. However, it took her 131 matches to reach this achievement compared to Schutt’s 123 matches.
While Schutt has only made just under 200 runs throughout her T20 career, Sharma has accumulated 1100 runs.
Deepti’s stellar performance, where she conceded just 18 runs in her four overs with an impressive economy rate of 4.50, played a crucial role in restricting Sri Lanka to a low score. Renuka Singh Thakur further dismantled the Sri Lankan batting lineup, claiming 4 wickets. As of press time, the Indian team was well on its way to victory, having already scored over 60 runs for the loss of just one wicket.
Deepti Sharma’s remarkable achievement underscores her significant contribution to the Indian Women’s Cricket team and solidifies her position as one of the leading all-rounders in the world.
