Deepti Sharma: Deepti’s world record, the star all-rounder surpassed everyone in women’s cricket

London: Deepti Sharma set a world record in women’s cricket. Indian women’s cricket team’s dream of winning this year’s T20 World Cup has been shattered with the defeat against Australia on the stage of T20 World Cup 2026. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team has been knocked out of the tournament. But Deepti Sharma has already set a world record. Deepti Sharma has become the highest wicket taker in women’s international cricket.

The Indian women’s cricket team played in a do or die match against Australia. With the wicket of Australian opener Beth Mooney in the match, Deepti achieved the feat of taking the most wickets in women’s cricket. Beth returned with a catch in the hands of Radha Yadav while playing a slog sweep shot.

Deepti Sharma currently holds 356 wickets in international matches. He aced the legendary former pacer Jhulan Goswami of Bengal. He has 355 wickets in his possession. Alyssa Perry of Australia has taken 336 wickets in international cricket. England’s Catherine Skriver Brunt has taken 335 wickets, Sophie Ecclestone 333 and South Africa’s Shabnam Ismail 323 wickets so far. They are the first six.

India’s women’s brigade came out to bat first on this day. Last year, India reached the final after defeating Australia in the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup on home soil. This time, Ajirai was in front in the important match. Batting first, India’s Pramila Bahini scored 170 runs losing 4 wickets. However, India did not start very well. Opening batsman Smriti Mandhana batted slowly despite not falling a wicket. He scored 38 runs off 37 balls. However, Shefali Verma, who was with him, scored a little faster. This Indian batsman scored 34 runs off 26 balls. When they got out, Jemima Rodriguez and Harmanpreet Kaur entered the field. The third wicket partnership of Jemaima and Harmanpreet increased the run rate a bit. Later, when Jemima Rodriguez was dismissed, Harmanpreet Kaur took the innings single-handedly. Harmanpreet scored a mercurial 56 off 27 balls. Sophie Molyneux hit 3 consecutive 6 in the last over. In response, Australia women’s brigade picked up the necessary runs to win after losing 4 wickets in 19 overs.
