Deepti Sharma Is The Ben Stokes Of The Indian Team, Says Amol Muzumdar Post 347-run Win Over England
DY Patil Stadium: Amol Muzumdar, head coach of the Indian women's cricket team, revealed that off-spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma is called the "Ben Stokes of the team".
On Saturday morning, Deepti extended her match haul to nine wickets, taking four scalps in the second innings, apart from making 67 and 20 with the bat, to play the leading hand in India securing a memorable 347-run win over England in the one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium, thus taking the Player of the Match award.
"You are talking about Stokesy - I jokingly call her as the Ben Stokes of the team. She is fantastic. The confidence she has shown in her batting and the confidence she has gained in these two innings - nine wickets in the Test match and a fifty! She is an important cog in the wheel when she comes (out to bat in the) lower order, bowls crucial overs, and gets wickets," said Muzumdar to broadcasters after the match ended.
