Deepti Sharma has embossed her name in cricket history, becoming the first player, man or woman, to score more than 200 runs and take over 20 wickets in a single World Cup edition.

With 215 runs and 22 wickets at the end of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup, the Indian all-rounder broke the record.

No cricket player has achieved this feat in a World Cup.

Her biggest moment came in the final against South Africa, where she hit a steady half-century and later picked up five wickets.

The performance turned the match in India’s favour and helped the team secure their first Women’s ODI World Cup title.

Fans and former players have been praising her consistency throughout the tournament.

Many are calling it one of the most complete World Cup campaigns by an all-rounder in the modern game.

The record is also seen as a major step forward for women’s cricket, showcasing the sport’s growth in terms of skill, talent, and popularity around the world.

With these accomplishments, Deepty, whose career has been built on perseverance, composure under pressure and game-winning efforts, open a new chapter.
