Renuka became superior in cricket.
Renuka Thakur created history when she claimed an incredible five wickets against England in the Women’s T20 World Cup match between India and South Africa. She became the second Indian player in Women’s T20 World Cup history to claim a five-wicket haul.
Legs pinner Priyanka Roy, who got five wickets against the West Indies in a single T20 World Cup match in Taunton in 2009, came before Singh. While Roy got five wickets and gave up sixteen runs, Renuka took five wickets and gave up only fifteen runs.
At the Men’s T20 World Cup, Ravichandran Ashwin had the best statistics among Indian men. In the 2014 India vs. Australia game played at Mirpur, he got four wickets while only allowing 11 runs to be scored. Diana David and Harbhajan Singh are two further Indian athletes who earned 4/12.
IND W vs ENG W
Despite Renuka’s excellent performance, England only scored 151 points overall throughout the contest. Nat Sciver got a memorable fifty. A 28 was hit by Heather Knight, and a 40 was made quickly by Amy James.
One wicket was taken by Renuka in each of her three overs. She secured two wickets in her twentieth over. A hat trick was almost missed by her.
Renuka Thakur, who is from Himachal Pradesh, led the league in wickets taken during the 2019–20 Senior Women’s One Day League. She joined the Indian women’s cricket squad in 2021, and in 2022, she was selected to play for India in the Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.
