New Delhi, Nov 3 (NationPress) The Uttar Pradesh Police has commended all-rounder Deepti Sharma for her incredible performance following India’s historic triumph in the Women’s World Cup held in Navi Mumbai on Sunday.

Deepti, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Kushal Khiladi Yojana, played a pivotal role in securing India's 52-run victory over South Africa during the final at the DY Patil Stadium.

The UP Police celebrated her outstanding all-round contribution through social media, highlighting her integral role in this monumental achievement for Indian women’s cricket. “The pride of UP Police shone brightly on the global platform — with a remarkable all-round performance of 215 runs and 22 wickets in the international tournament, she not only clinched the Player of the Tournament title but also instilled overwhelming pride in the nation, Uttar Pradesh, and the UP Police on the world stage,” a post from the DGP UP handle stated.

“Warmest congratulations and best wishes to @Deepti_Sharma06, appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police under Hon’ble Chief Minister @myogiadityanath Ji’s Kushal Khiladi Yojana,” it continued.

The final marked the conclusion of an extraordinary campaign, serving as a defining moment in Deepti's career redemption.

Batting first, she stabilized India’s innings with a composed, run-a-ball 58, propelling the total to 298. Subsequently, she delivered one of the most impressive bowling displays in a World Cup final, achieving figures of 5 for 39 and dismantling South Africa’s chase.

Deepti concluded the tournament as the leading wicket-taker with 22 wickets — the second-highest in Women’s World Cup history — and became the first cricketer, regardless of gender, to amass 200-plus runs and 20-plus wickets in a single World Cup edition. Her total of 215 runs and 22 wickets earned her the Player of the Tournament accolade.

With her bat, Deepti showcased both patience and aggression, effectively using her sweep shot to disrupt South Africa’s spinners while maintaining composure during critical middle overs. However, it was her bowling that truly defined the final. She dismissed Sinalo Jafta and delivered a perfect yorker to remove Annerie Dercksen — a moment reminiscent of her earlier dismissal of Chamari Athapaththu in the match against Sri Lanka.

Deepti then decisively swung the match in India’s favor by quickly taking down Laura Wolvaardt and Chloe Tryon before claiming the final wicket that solidified India’s groundbreaking victory.
