Nandani Sharma : India’s women’s cricket team has now shifted its focus toward the shortest format after scripting history by lifting the Women’s ODI World Cup for the first time. With the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 set to take place in England this June, the Board has officially announced Team India’s squad for the marquee event.
As expected, veteran skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the side. While most selections were on expected lines, one name in the squad has grabbed major attention — fast bowler Nandani Sharma, who is yet to make her international debut.
Surprise Selection Creates Buzz
The inclusion of 24-year-old pacer Nandani Sharma from Chandigarh has become one of the biggest talking points after the squad announcement. Despite not having international experience, her outstanding performances in domestic franchise cricket made it difficult for selectors to ignore her.
Nandani’s rise has been nothing short of impressive, and her selection reflects Team India’s intent to back emerging match-winners ahead of a major ICC tournament.
Outstanding WPL 2026 Performance
Nandani Sharma came into the spotlight during the 2026 edition of the Women’s Premier League while representing Delhi Capitals Women. In 10 matches, she picked up an impressive 17 wickets and emerged as one of the tournament’s most effective fast bowlers.
Her campaign became even more memorable when she created history by becoming the first Indian woman bowler to register both a five-wicket haul and a hat-trick in the tournament.
Bought for ₹20 Lakh, Delivered Beyond Expectations
Before WPL 2026, Delhi Capitals signed Nandani Sharma for ₹20 lakh at the auction. What looked like a smart investment soon turned into one of the season’s biggest success stories.
With consistent match-winning spells, Nandani played a crucial role in helping Delhi Capitals reach the final. Although the team eventually lost the title clash to Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, her performances had already made a strong statement.
Ready for the Biggest Stage
Now, with a maiden call-up to Team India for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, Nandani Sharma stands on the verge of a dream international debut. All eyes will be on the young pacer as India begins its quest for another global title in England.
