Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who secured the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award in India’s historic ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 triumph, said that she feels the “luckiest” to have bowled the final delivery and it would always stay with her that she got the title-sealing wicket of Nadine de Klerk, the South African all-rounder who was having a brilliant tournament.

Deepti secured the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award in CWC 2025, scoring 215 runs in seven innings at an average of 30.71 and a strike rate of 90.33, with three fifties and a best score of 58 and topping the wicket-taking charts with 22 scalps in nine innings at an average of over 20. She came absolutely clutch in the final with a double of a half-century and a five-wicket haul, saving her best for the grandest occasion.
