Even as the night evolved into one of tears and ecstasy coupled with some of the most memorable feats in cricket, Deepti Sharma makes history when she produced one of the most wonderful all-round performances ever seen in a World Cup final. With her extraordinary performances both with the bat and the ball, India’s first title in the Women’s World Cup was secured, a moment every single cricket-loving Indian is going to cherish forever.
It was from the moment when Deepti Sharma came to bat that she had made it clear that history was being made, and what a headline for Indian cricket this has been. India was taken to the finishing line during the final against South Africa by her remarkable calmness under pressure, followed by an audacious burst of bowling.
He became the first cricketer in World Cup history, men’s and women’s, to score more than 200 runs and take more than 20 wickets in the same edition of the World Cup.
Deepti would merit inclusion into the legends just because of that astonishing accolade, but she went far beyond the domain of statistics.

The start of India’s innings in the final did not go smoothly, yet with this history being made, Deepti Sharma displayed exemplary discipline: her 58-run knock came during a crucial arrival.
Before her finest moments with the ball, she ensured that India had enough to contest with.
Her batting revived India’s chances early in the innings. Her bowling brought home the trophy.
As the pressure mounted, every wicket Deepti Sharma makes history. Right in the middle and lower order of South Africa’s batting was her wonderful display of flight, drift, and accuracy.
Deepti, calm with laser focus and razor-sharp intensity, had nothing left to give for the Proteas, even as Laura Wolvaardt struck a breathtaking century.
Deepti’s emotions were spilling after becoming Player of the Tournament.
“Honestly, we still can’t believe this result…I’m really happy that I could contribute like this today. This moment was made possible by our fans.”
Humility and gratitude made the moment very special. Deepti Sharma makes history not just by statistics, but by character and courage.
