India Women star all-rounder Deepti Sharma created history in Women's T20I cricket, as she became the leading wicket-taker in this format with one wicket in the last game of 2025.

Most Women's T20I wickets: Deepti Sharma surpassed Megan Schutt

Before the last game of the five-match home Women's T20I series against Sri Lanka Women, while India Women were leading the series by 4-0, the off-spinner Deepti Sharma was the joint leading wicket-taker in the Women's T20I with 151 wickets, equal to Australian right-arm pacer Megan Schutt. 

In the last game of the series at Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday night (December 30), while India Women scored 175/7 in 20 overs, Deepti created the world record in the second innings. 

In her first three overs of the match, Deepti remained wicketless, while she conceded 25 runs. She returned to bowl her last over in 2025 during the 14th over of the chase, where Sri Lanka Women needed 77 runs in 42 balls with eight wickets in hand, while Nilakshika Silva was the new batter recently joined set opener Hasini Perera in the crease.

Deepti Sharma dismissed Nilakshika Silva to set a new world record

On the third ball of the 14th over, Deepti trapped Nilakshika Silva for an lbw, who scored only three runs off four balls. The bowling end umpire quickly raised her finger after the strong appeal from the hosts, as the teammates congratulated Deepti for her world record achievement. Although Nilakshika went for the review, it was three reds, as that dismissal was confirmed after the review.

It was Deepti's 152nd Women's T20I wicket, as she surpassed Megan Schutt to become the leading wicket-taker in WT20I history. 

The year 2025 will be remembered as a golden year for India Women. The Women in Blue finally broke their ICC jinx to win the 2025 Women's World Cup at home in front of a full house.

5. Kranti Gaud (6-52) vs England in Chester-le-Street

Young India Women pacer Kranti Gaud delivered one of her best performances with the ball in 2025, though she was a bit expensive in a few games. The 22-year-old starred with 6-52 from 9.5 overs in Chester-le-Street in the third and final ODI of the series against England.

Chasing a target of 319, the hosts were bowled out for 305, and India won the series 2-1. Gaud cleaned up Tammy Beaumont (2) with a perfect delivery in the first over. Amy Jones (4) was brilliantly caught by Deepti Sharma. Gaud returned at the death to have Charlie Dean (21) caught by Jemimah Rodrigues at long-on. She then ran through the tail to complete a memorable six-wicket haul.

3. Shree Charani (3-41) vs Australia in Visakhapatnam

Australia Women chased a huge target of 331 in the league match of the 2025 Women’s World Cup in Visakhapatnam. Aussie skipper Alyssa Healy scored a superb 142 off 107 balls, and several other batters made crucial contributions. Australia reached the target in 49 overs.

Amid the carnage, left-arm spinner Shree Charani was outstanding with figures of 3-41. She gave India Women the first breakthrough when Phoebe Litchfield (40) reverse-swept a tossed-up delivery to backward point. Annabel Sutherland (0) was bowled by a clever delivery. Charani also ended Healy's innings, having her caught at point by Sneh Rana.

2. Kranti Gaud (3-20) vs Pakistan in Colombo

Kranti Gaud appears on the list again for her performance against Pakistan in Colombo. She was named Player of the Match for figures of 3-20 from 10 overs in the league game. Her effort helped the India Women achieve a commanding 88-run victory.

1. Deepti Sharma (5-39) vs South Africa in Navi Mumbai

Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma has faced her share of heartbreaks in ICC events over the years, and her temperament was often questioned under pressure. However, in the 2025 Women’s World Cup, Deepti rose to the occasion and played a key role in India’s victory.

After scoring an important fifty in the final against South Africa at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Deepti took 5-39 with the ball. She dismissed Sinalo Jafta (16) caught at short midwicket, bowled Annerie Dercksen (35) with a yorker, and had Laura Wolvaardt (101) miscue a shot. Deepti also dismissed Nadine de Klerk (18) as India Women lifted the World Cup trophy.

India Women played 23 ODI matches in 2025. They won 15 matches, lost seven, and one match ended with no result. The Women in Blue finished the year with a win percentage of 65.22 in the ODI format. The biggest highlight of the year was winning the ODI World Cup at home.

The 'Women in Blue' began 2025 with a dominant 3–0 series win against Ireland at home in January. They also won the tri-series in Sri Lanka held in April–May. In July, India Women secured a 2–1 away ODI series victory against England. However, they lost the home ODI series against Australia 2–1 in September. Despite three big setbacks, India Women made a strong comeback to lift the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup.

While Sri Lanka Women were restricted to 112/7 in 20 overs, India Women chased down the target in 13.2 overs after losing two wickets. 

Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma dominated with the ball
