India’s star all-rounder Deepti Sharma finds herself on the brink of achieving a career-defining milestone. For the first time ever, the seasoned off-spinner is tantalisingly close to seizing the top spot in the ICC Women’s T20I bowling rankings, trailing Pakistan’s Sadia Iqbal by a mere eight rating points.

In the latest rankings, Deepti climbed to second place, leapfrogging Australia’s Annabel Sutherland, courtesy of her outstanding three-wicket haul in the third match of India’s five-game T20I series against England.
