Breaking Jhulan Goswami’s record at Lord’s, she became the ‘Queen of Wickets’, a proud moment amid Team India’s defeat.


Become number-1 by defeating Jhulan Goswami Indian cricket’s star all-rounder Deepti Sharma wrote a new history on the historic ground of Lord’s on Sunday. Deepti became the highest wicket-taker in international women’s cricket when she took the wicket of Beth Mooney in the ‘do or die’ match of the T20 World Cup against Australia. Earlier this record was in the name of veteran fast bowler Jhulan Goswami, who had 355 international wickets in his account. Deepti has now topped the list with the figure of 356 wickets.

Had to wait a long time for the wicket Due to not getting wickets in the last two matches, Deepti was just one step away from this achievement. She had been quite economical in the previous matches against Bangladesh and South Africa, but the drought of wickets was not ending. In the 10th over of the innings against Australia, she bowled an excellent full length ball, which Beth Mooney wanted to hit towards long-on, but Radha Yadav posted there took the catch and gave Deepti her historic 356th wicket.

Deepti tops the list of brilliant players With this record, Deepti Sharma has left behind those great players who have ruled women’s cricket for decades. In this list, Deepti Sharma is now at first place with 356 wickets, while Jhulan Goswami is at second place with 355 wickets. After them come the names of Australia’s legendary all-rounder Ellyse Perry (336), England’s Katherine Sciver-Brunt (335) and Sophie Ecclestone (333). However, as great as this individual achievement was, the road to the semi-finals became tough for the team. Even the big score of 170 runs against Australia was not enough for Team India to win, due to which India is out of the group stage of the T20 World Cup for the second time in a row.
