India’s off-spinner Sneh Rana delivered a remarkable performance against South Africa, claiming the second-best bowling figures by an Indian in Women’s Tests. Her spell of 25.3-4-77-8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai dismantled the South African batting lineup, setting a new benchmark since Neetu David’s memorable 1995 feat.
Record breaking spell
Sneh Rana’s exceptional figures of 8 wickets for 77 runs put India in a commanding position against South Africa, dismissing them for 266 in 84.3 overs. This achievement places her alongside Indian greats like Gargi Banerjee, Diana Edulji, and Shubhangi Kulkarni, who have also left indelible marks in Women’s Test cricket history.
