India all-rounder Deepti Sharma has reached her career-best position among bowlers and all-rounders in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings after some stunning performances over the past week in the Asia Cup being played in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Sharma scalped three wickets against Pakistan and two each against Bangladesh and Thailand to move up three slots and reach a career-best-equaling third position as well, which she had first reached in November 2019. She has surpassed South Africa fast bowler Shabnim Ismail and now only trails England spinners Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn as well.
Deepti Sharma has also moved up one slot to 35th among batters and is ranked third among all-rounders after overtaking Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner. Her number three position among all-rounders is also career-best-equaling attainment also. India’s Renuka Singh (up three slots to eighth), Sneh Rana (up 30 places to 15th) and Pooja Vastrakar (up seven places to 28th) have progressed in the rankings for bowlers alongside Bangladesh’s Sanjida Akter (up 25 places to 24th), Sri Lanka’s Inoka Ranaweera (up eight places to 32nd), Pakistan’s Tuba Hassan (up 30 places to 37th) and Thailand’s Thipatcha Putthawong (up 44 places to 37th).
