Deepti Sharma Thanks The President

India’s star all-rounder, Deepti Sharma thanked the Indian President for inviting the team, as reported by PTI. Here’s what she said:

“I would like to thank you that you called us. We started well but then we lost a few matches in between. The best part about this team was our unity, even when we were losing. The best part was that BCCI gave us different venues to play.”

“The WPL has helped us improve a lot, the young talents have got a platform and we have learnt a lot from that, Women’s cricket has grown immensely from that, so we would just look to do good and bring glory to the nation.” she added.

Deepti Sharma was named Player of the Tournament at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. She finished the tournament as the highest wicket-taker. She scored a crucial half century, and took 5 wickets in the final alone.

The Indian team also met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, November 5. However, the footage and images of the interaction only surfaced online earlier today.
