Deepti Sharma Closes In On Becoming Top-ranked T20I Bowler
Pacers Issy Wong: India’s star spinner Deepti Sharma is on the verge of becoming the No. 1 ranked T20I bowler after the 27-year-old moved up to the second spot, just eight rating points shy of Pakistan’s Sadia Iqbal, who currently holds the top spot.
The latest update to the T20I rankings has seen Deepti gain one spot and overtake Australia pacer Annabel Sutherland to regain second place on the rankings. Deepti’s rise comes on the back of her impactful performance in the ongoing five-match T20I series against England, where she picked up a crucial three-wicket haul in the third match at The Oval.
Despite being a consistent performer and a regular presence in the top 10 for over six years, the off-spinner has never held the No.1 ranking – a milestone now well within reach as the series heads into its final two games.
