Deepti Sharma is widely regarded as one of the most complete all-rounders in modern women’s cricket. Known for her calm batting approach and highly effective off-spin, she has consistently influenced matches across formats for India. While her numbers in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is already place her among the elite performers, there are several lesser-known and surprising aspects of her journey that highlight how unconventional and inspiring her rise has been.
Here are three unknown facts about Deepti Sharma:
1. Record-breaking ODI innings for India
One of the most remarkable achievements in Deepti Sharma’s career is her highest individual score in Women’s One Day Internationals. In a match against Ireland Women in 2017 at Potchefstroom, she scored an exceptional 188 runs off 160 balls. This remains one of the highest ODI scores by an Indian woman cricketer.
Her innings included 27 fours and two sixes, showcasing her ability to build a long innings while maintaining an aggressive strike rate. The knock came in a dominant Indian total of 358/2, and she played a crucial role in a strong partnership with Punam Raut, underlining her ability to anchor and accelerate depending on match situations.
