Team India were landed a major blow in their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign, as key spinner Shreyanka Patil suffered an ankle injury during the IND vs NED match on Wednesday. Even though there is no official confirmation about her ouster from the tournament as a whole, the injury looks quite serious. Perhaps, she could miss out on the remaining league matches only as well; but in either case, Harmanpreet Kaur & co. might be looking at some injury replacements.
So, Insidesport takes a look at the potential replacements that the team might go for, in place of Shreyanka Patil. Again, this move depends on a lot of factors; the management will have to put in a written request, along with the diagnosis and the reports, and then only will their demand be processed.

— BCCI Women (@BCCIWomen) June 17, 2026Potential replacements for injured Shreyanka Patil for Women’s T20 World Cup 2026
Sneh Rana: At this moment, the first name that comes to mind, has to be Rana. She is an off-spinner who can bat a bit in the lower order, much like Patil. She had a horrendous WPL 2026, where she only bagged 1 wicket in 10 matches, and the economy was 10.87, but she has been with the Indian team enough, to be considered again. In 31 T20Is, she has 26 wickets to her name, at an economy of 6.34.
Vaishnavi Sharma: She is a left-arm spinner, but then, India has look at the value that a player brings. Again, WPL was not that great, as she picked up 1 wicket in 3 matches for MI, but is a decent player. In 5 T20Is, she has as many wickets, and economy is excellent at 6.26.
Rajeshwari Gayakwad: Thinking out of the box might serve India well. They have the option of going for veteran spinner Gayakwad, who was in sublime form in the WPL. For Gujarat Giants, she went on to pick 11 wickets in 8 matches at an economy of 8.09. Her T20I record is even better, where 61 wickets have come her way, and the economy is only 6.15.
Sayali Satghare: This is totally subject to clearance; but then if India can get her in, their playing XI might look a lot better. They are missing some balance in the side due to the absence of a fast-bowling all-rounder like Amanjot Kaur & Kashvee Gautam, which she could fill. Her batting is untested at this moment in the international circuit, but she bowled well in the WPL. This year for RCBW, she was excellent and picked up 9 wickets in 6 matches.
She could be a match-changer for India in crunch matches, where pacers are not being at their best. So, up to the management to consider her.
