Deepti Sharma was named the Player of the Tournament of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 on Sunday after the India vs South Africa final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
The all-rounder, who finished with 215 runs and 22 wickets in the edition, scored a half-century and picked up a crucial five-wicket haul in the final to help India beat South Africa by 52 runs.
She took the last few wickets, importantly of skipper and centurion Laura Wolvaardt, en route to breaking the record for most wickets in a single edition by an Indian.
She also topped the list of most wickets taken in the 2025 edition. “Honestly, this is feeling like a dream. It feels really nice that I could contribute this way in a World Cup final,” she said after receiving the award.
“I always enjoy, whichever department or whichever situation I am in. I wanted to play according to the situation. To perform as an all-rounder, it cannot be a more amazing feeling,” she added.
