Indian women’s cricket team is hitting the headlines of late. They have been consistent to say the least. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team have won the series in England after 23 years and have broken the record. Speaking of the skipper, she has led the team from the front and won the ‘player of the series’ award.

However, the third ODI between India and England became the talk of the town. One is for Jhulan Goswami’s retirement after a stellar career and the other is for Deepti Sharma’s run-out at the non-striker’s end. Speaking of the runout, India needed a wicket to seal the match and England needed 17 runs to win. 

However, the bowler, who witnessed Charlotte Dean out of the crease at the other end, removed the bails and appealed for run-out. The umpires, who had a brief discussion, ruled the decision in favour of India. The Indian women’s cricket team won the match by sixteen runs and sealed the series 0-3.
