Architect of India’s eight-run win over England in the second women T20I, talented all-rounder Deepti Sharma says she has got better in reading and handling difficult match situations and enjoys playing under pressure.

Chasing 148, England were cruising with opener Tammy Beaumont (59) and skipper Heather Knight (30) in the middle but Deepti dismissed both the batters off successive balls in the 14th over to bring India back into the match. “I like playing in pressure situations, whether it is in any position in the team—batting, bowling, or fielding. As an all-rounder, I just want to contribute to my department and take the team forward,” Deepti said.

“I like leading from the front, like in domestic tournaments when I play as a senior player and win matches for my team, that gives different confidence.”
