Deepti Sharma World Record: The biggest credit for winning the title of ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 goes to star all-rounder Deepti Sharma. Deepti led her team to success by showing amazing skills with bat and ball. At the same time, by the end of the year, he has also made two big records in his name. Deepti has become the highest wicket-taker in Women’s T20I.
Deepti Sharma became the leading wicket-taker in Women’s T20 International during the fifth T20I against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. He achieved this feat by taking his 152nd T20I wicket in 133 matches since his debut in 2016. Deepti left behind the record of Australian fast bowler Megan Shutt. Pakistan’s Nida Dar is at third place in this list with 144 wickets.
Unique record in cricket history
Deepti Sharma is the first player in history to score more than 1000 runs and take more than 150 wickets in the T20I format. No one before him has achieved this position in men’s or women’s cricket. She is also the first woman to take 150-plus wickets in both ODIs and T20Is.
Deepti dominated in ODI cricket also
India’s Deepti Sharma emerged as the most effective wicket-taker in the World Cup year, taking 39 wickets in ODIs this year at an average of 27.1 and giving away runs at an economy rate of just 5.12. She was a key factor in India’s title win, where she used her off-spin to break important partnerships in high-run matches. Deepti’s 39 wickets taken in ODIs this year are the most wickets taken by any bowler in any women’s ODI calendar year.
