But that was the lowest point for Deepti in 2022. Since then, she has only moved onwards and upwards, especially in the shortest format. Once Harmanpreet Kaur took over as all-format captain, Deepti was trusted with the role of the finisher in the Sri Lanka series. Safe to say, it has worked out well for both team India and the all-rounder. In 2022, Deepti had her best year as a T20 batter with 370 runs in 19 innings at a strike rate of 136.02. To put it into context, her previous best year as a T20 batter was 2020 when she averaged 31.6 while striking at 100.63.
Contrary to her batting role, Harmanpreet has gone to Deepti during all phases with the ball. The 25-year-old has been the skipper's most trusted lieutenant. Her ability to bowl in all phases and take wickets while still keeping things in control is what makes her one of the best off-spinners in the world.
