"Wanted to score in every area, as much as possible in least amount of deliveries": Deepti on mindset as batter during 2025 WC win
Nov 21, 2025
The 28-year-old had an all-timer World Cup campaign, which erased the pain of the heartbreaking nine-run loss to England in the 2017 final, as part of which Deepti succumbed during a shocking batting collapse from 191/3 to 219 while chasing 229. In this tournament, she scored 215 runs in seven innings with three fifties and took 22 wickets. Saving her absolute lethal for the last, she hit a run-a-ball half-century and took a game-changing five-wicket haul in the final against South Africa.
