There is a reason why Deepti Sharma is India’s best bowler, that too by a considerable margin. On Sunday, during the IND vs PAK encounter in Birmingham, the opposition got a rollicking start while chasing 171, and were 52/1 in 6 overs. It was not like they were fancied to win, but someone had to pick the wickets still. And it was then, that Deepti came on to bowl, got a wicket in the very first over, to kickstart a collapse of epic proportions, helping IND bundle out PAK for 106, and herself returning with figures of 5/10, the best figures by an INDIAN in Women’s T20 World Cup history.
