WPL 2025: All-rounder Deepti Sharma To Lead UP Warriorz
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India’s off-spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma has been named as new captain of the UP Warriorz ahead of the 2025 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), starting from February 14.
Deepti, 27, will be taking over the captaincy duties from Australia skipper Alyssa Healy, who was ruled out of WPL 2025 due to a recurring foot injury. Under Alyssa’s captaincy, UP Warriorz finished third in WPL 2023, before making a league stage exit in the 2024 edition.
The Warriorz signed Deepti for Rs 2.6 crore during the inaugural auction. In the 2023 season, she went on to take nine wickets while scoring 90 runs with the bat. In WPL 2024, she amassed 295 runs, making her the fifth-highest run-getter in the competition, while taking 10 wickets, including a hat-trick against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
