India all-rounder Deepti Sharma made a significant leap in the ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings, climbing 10 places to reach 23rd among batters, following her impressive performances in the ongoing series against England. The latest rankings, released on Tuesday, saw several Indian and English players reap rewards for their impactful outings in the first two ODIs.

Deepti, who was named Player of the Match in the series opener for her unbeaten 62, played a key role in guiding India to a successful chase of 259. She followed that up with another composed, unbeaten knock of 30 in the second game. Her consistent performances have propelled her into the top 25 batters for the first time in over a year.

England's Sophia Dunkley jumped 24 places to 52nd after a fluent 83 off 92 balls in the first ODI. Her knock laid the foundation for a competitive total and was among the standout performances for the hosts. Teammate Alice Davidson-Richards climbed 40 spots to 118th, thanks to a well-compiled half-century in the same match.
