On October 4, India’s women’s 2024 T20 World Cup journey will kick off against New Zealand. In the league stage, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team will also play Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. The top two teams advance to the semifinals. India batsman Veda Krishnamurthy evaluated the team before the world cup and said that Deepti Sharma will be essential to the group.
In the Women’s Hundred 2024, Deepti was in outstanding form for London Spirit. In eight matches, she amassed 212 runs, including a scorching six when her side was under duress to win the coveted title. Additionally, the 27-year-old claimed eight wickets at a 6.85 economy rate. Deepti’s importance was highlighted by Krishnamurthy, who pointed out that since the World Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates, the circumstances will probably be good for the spinners.
She will undoubtedly be significant as her bowling will be vital, and if a turn is available, I believe she will be even more lethal under those circumstances. She made her debut in 2014, I believe, and as a cricket player, she has improved yearly for more than a decade. Regardless of the format, she has developed to the point where she is an essential member of the Indian team, Krishnamurthy stated on Star Sports.

Krishnamurthy added, “Deepti will be important with the bat as well.” The 31-year-old bowler thinks the all-rounder merely needs to keep up the same pace because she performed well in the Women’s Hundred and can be useful for India later in the order.

“With her bat, she can score those vital runs even if she is hitting at No. 7 or No. 8. Deepti simply needs to maintain her current form and perform well for India because she has been in fantastic form throughout all of these franchise leagues that she has participated in, Krishnamurthy continued.
