In New Delhi on November 3, the Uttar Pradesh Police erupted on social media after India’s women’s team snatched their first World Cup title in Navi Mumbai. The police force praised the all‑round heroics of Deepti Sharma, the deputy superintendent of police who played a key role in India’s 52‑run win over South Africa at the DY Patil Stadium.
Deepti, a member of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Kushal Khiladi Yojana, anchored the Indian innings with a steady 58, then delivered a stunning 5‑for‑39 bowling spell that dismantled South Africa’s chase. She finished the tournament as the leading wicket‑taker with 22 wickets – the second‑highest tally in Women’s World Cup history – and was the first cricketer, male or female, to amass over 200 runs and 20 wickets in a single edition. Her 215 runs and 22 wickets earned her the Player of the Tournament award.
The UP Police’s post highlighted her “stellar all‑round performance of 215 runs and 22 wickets,” calling her a source of pride for the state, the police force, and the nation. The police also congratulated her appointment as Deputy Superintendent of Police under the Kushal Khiladi Yojana.
Deepti’s final‑day performance capped a memorable campaign. She batted measuredly but aggressively, using her sweep to unsettle South Africa’s spinners. With the ball, she took out key South African hitters, including Sinalo Jafta, Annerie Dercksen, Laura Wolvaardt, and Chloe Tryon, leaving the final wicket to seal India’s historic triumph.
Overall, India’s victory marked a milestone for women’s cricket, and Deepti Sharma’s all‑round excellence will be remembered as a defining moment in the team’s first World Cup title.
