“World’s Best All-Rounder”: R. Ashwin Lauds Deepti Sharma After Stellar World Cup Run

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hailed Deepti Sharma as the “world’s best all-rounder” following her remarkable performances in the recent Women’s Cricket World Cup. Commending her consistency and composure, Ashwin said, “Deepti Sharma is the best all-rounder in the world right now. She performs with both bat and ball under pressure and delivers every time India needs her.”

Sharma played a pivotal role in India’s campaign, contributing crucial runs and taking key wickets in several matches. Her all-round brilliance was instrumental in India’s victories, particularly during high-pressure encounters. “It’s rare to find an all-rounder who can change the game in both departments,” Ashwin added. “She brings balance to the team and gives the captain immense flexibility.”

Ashwin also praised Sharma’s temperament, saying, “What impresses me most is her calmness. Even in tense situations, she stays composed and finds a way to make an impact.”

Cricket analysts have echoed Ashwin’s sentiments, calling Sharma “the backbone of the Indian side” and a “genuine match-winner.” Her ability to adapt to different match scenarios has made her a dependable asset for India across formats.

Reacting modestly to the praise, Sharma said her focus remains on “helping the team win and improving with every game.”

With her growing influence on the global stage, Ashwin believes Sharma’s success story is just beginning. “If she continues like this,” he said, “Deepti Sharma won’t just be India’s best — she’ll define what it means to be an all-rounder in world cricket.”
