NAVI MUMBAI: On September 24, 2022, Deepti Sharma became the most infamous cricketer in the UK after controversially running out England's Charlie Dean for backing up too far. From December 15, 2023, England will remember her not for breaking the 'spirit of cricket', but for 'excellence in cricket'.
Coming on to bowl as late as the 26th over on a vicious turner on Day Two of the one-off women's Test, the off-spinning allrounder, following up on her 67 with the bat in the first innings, wreaked havoc on England's batting. Deepti took 5/7 in a sensational spell of 5.3 overs-which included four maidens-to shoot out the visitors for 136 in 35.3 overs.
