NEW DELHI: Former Australia skipper Meg Lanning analysed India's experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma's impressive performance in the first two matches of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup and said that the way she started the tournament "will make other teams very nervous."
Deepti is currently the top wicket-taker in the tournament with six scalps in two games, having recorded her best figures of 3-45 against Pakistan. In India's tournament opener against Sri Lanka, she contributed a fair bit with the bat as well, scoring a crucial run-a-ball 53.
"She's obviously got a lot of experience behind her now and playing conditions that she knows really well and she seems to have found a really nice spot in the middle order there to be able to come in and play how she wants.
"You know the good thing with Deepti is she can come in if you've lost a few wickets and sort of settle things down and right the ship but if she needs to come in and dominate and be a bit more aggressive, you can also do that. So that's a really good thing to have in the middle order, " said Lanning to the ICC.
