ENG-W vs IND-W 2025: ‘Adapting fast to English conditions’ – Deepti Sharma praises Shree Charani’s heroics

Senior Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma lavished Charani with plaudits for his outstanding performance in the opening two games. According to Deepti Sharma, she is happy to watch the child evaluating the circumstances and bowling in the best spots. The cricket player from Bengal also praised Charani’s rapid skill development and learning curve.

During the current five-match Twenty20 International series in the United Kingdom, 20-year-old left-arm orthodox bowler Shree Charani made her debut for her country against England. Charani has demonstrated in the first two games that she is prepared for the big stage and is not intimidated by the opposition or the circumstances.

In the first Twenty20 International in Nottingham, Charani concluded with incredible figures of 4/12 in 3.5 overs, capping off an incredible start to her international career. In the second Twenty20 International in Bristol, she turned the tide of the match with another outstanding effort, taking crucial wickets of Amy Jones and Alice Capsey in the same over. India now leads the five-match series 2-0 after winning both games.

She took four wickets in her maiden game, but it’s hardly an easy debut. At the pre-match news conference for the third Twenty20 International, which will take place at the Kennington Oval in London on Friday, July 4, Deepti stated, “She is fairly young; I appreciate that she assessed the conditions and bowled in the right areas because it is not easy.”

She entered her first game with a great deal of confidence, and she even claimed important wickets in the second. Under these circumstances, she is maturing swiftly,” Deepti continued.

We’ll stick to our procedures and play each game as it comes: Deepti

The Women in Blue are one victory away from winning a series in England for the first time, giving them the opportunity to write history. Deepti, however, stated that the Indian squad will not look ahead and will instead concentrate on the fundamentals during the third Twenty20 International.

“We’ll play each game as it comes and adhere to our procedures. We won’t make an effort to act differently. We’re not searching very far. We are aiming to keep up our current pace and are only focussing on one game at a time,” Deepti stated.

Eight days prior to their five-match T20I series, the Indian players arrived in England after a 25-day camp in Bengaluru. According to Deepti, India’s preparation has been very beneficial, particularly for the younger players.

Everyone adjusted well when we arrived here a week or so prior to the series, and the practice matches also assisted in acclimating to the surroundings. It was beneficial to the kids,” Deepti continued.
