Deepti Sharma's stellar performance in the Women's Test Day 2 against England has etched her name in the annals of Indian cricket history. Displaying a remarkable blend of skill with both bat and ball, Deepti not only contributed a crucial half-century but also wreaked havoc with her bowling, securing a sensational five-wicket haul.



The defining moment came when Deepti, with a well-pitched delivery just outside the off stump, outsmarted England's Filer. Playing inside the line, Filer found herself clean-bowled as the ball cunningly avoided the edge, pitching and turning sharply to crash into the off stump. This pivotal wicket marked Deepti Sharma's fifth of the innings, ultimately triggering England's collapse, as they were bowled out for a mere 136 in 35.3 overs.

Deepti Sharma's bowling figures of 5/7 in 5.3 overs were not only a career-best but also etched her name in the record books of Indian Women's Test cricket. The statistical achievement places her among the elite, with the best bowling figures in an innings for India Women in Women's Test matches. Her stellar performance at DY Patil on December 14, 2023, adds another illustrious chapter to the rich history of Indian women in the Test format, showcasing Deepti Sharma's exceptional all-round prowess.

Sharma triggered England's downfall by dismissing Dani Wyatt, initiating a collapse despite Nat Sciver-Brunt's half-century. The spin duo of Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma worked in tandem, dismantling the English lineup. Sharma shone, securing a five-wicket haul, conceding only 7 runs. With England trailing by 292 runs, they face the threat of an innings defeat. The crucial question looms: will India enforce a follow-on or extend their lead in the final session of the day?
