Deepti rediscovering her mojo augurs well for the Women in Blue
Indian cricketer Deepti Sharma has regained her form and the top spot in the T20I wicket-takers list during the Women's T20 World Cup. Her performance is seen as vital for India's success in the tournament.
Why it matters
High-level athletic performance in international tournaments significantly impacts national morale and the growth of women's sports.
Deepti Sharma had gone five T20Is in a row without taking a wicket on India’s tours of Australia and South Africa. With the format’s World Cup around the corner, that wasn’t a good sign. But it is unlikely that the Indian team management would have been overly worried.
