Jhulan Goswami’s world record on the target of Deepti Sharma, just one wicket away from creating history

Deepti Sharma Most Wickets In Women’s Internationala Record: Indian women’s cricket team’s experienced spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma has come very close to creating a big history in international cricket. In India’s next match in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, they will have a golden opportunity to break the world record of former legendary fast bowler Jhulan Goswami.

Deepti is looking in great form at the moment. India has played three matches so far in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 and Deepti has taken 6 wickets at an excellent average of 13.33. In the match played against Pakistan, he wreaked havoc with the ball and took 5 wickets for just 10 runs in 4 overs.

However, in the last match against South Africa, his performance with the ball was not as expected. She spent 44 runs in her four over spell, but could not take any wicket. Because of this, she also missed becoming the bowler taking the highest wicket in women’s international cricket. India also had to face a close defeat by 6 wickets in that match.

At present, the record of taking most wickets in women’s international cricket is jointly held in the names of Jhulan Goswami and Deepti Sharma. Both the bowlers have taken 355-355 wickets. In such a situation, now Deepti needs only one wicket to reach this historic achievement.
