Team India’s star all-rounder Deepti Sharma is in discussion everywhere these days. The reason is also special, she created history with her brilliant performance in the Women’s World Cup 2025. He showed the path to victory for India by taking 22 wickets in this tournament and won everyone’s heart by scoring a half-century with 5 wickets in the final. But do you know that this player who dominated the field is now also a DSP in Uttar Pradesh Police? Let us know the whole story of his struggle and success.
Deepti Sharma was born on 24 August 1997 in Shamshabad, Agra district of Uttar Pradesh. His father Bhagwan Sharma worked in Railways and mother Sushila Sharma is a school principal. There were four elder brothers in the house and the youngest brother Sumit Sharma was a fast bowler for UP. Deepti used to often go to the field with Sumit in her childhood and it was from here that her cricket journey started. At the beginning of her career, Deepti wanted to become a fast bowler, but her brother advised her to adopt spin bowling. He himself left his job so that he could make Deepti practice daily. The result of her hard work was that at the age of 12, Deepti was selected in the UP Under-19 team.
Entry into Team India at the age of 17
In the year 2014, Deepti Sharma made a place in Team India at the age of just 17. His first ODI was played against South Africa. After this he made his debut in T20 International in 2016 and Test cricket in 2021. Deepti created history in 2017 when she made a partnership of 320 runs with Poonam Raut against Ireland. This is the biggest opening partnership so far in women’s ODI cricket. In that match she scored 188 runs, which is the second highest score in women’s ODI.
With his performance he proved that he is an expert not only in batting but also in bowling. Deepti is the first Indian woman bowler to take 100 wickets in 20 international matches. He created history by taking a hat-trick in WPL 2023 and took 30 wickets in the 2024 T20 series. Now she became the most successful bowler in the 2025 World Cup by taking 22 wickets.
