Renuka Singh's record-smashing year

Renuka emerged victorious, overcoming competition from Australia's Darcie Brown, England's Alice Capsey, and her fellow Indian Yastika Bhatia to secure the title. The young player, only 26 years of age, achieved outstanding performance with 18 ODI wickets at a 14.88 average and an economy of 4.62, as well as 22 T20I wickets at a 23.95 average and an economy of 6.50 in just 29 white-ball matches.

Renuka made her mark in the cricket world with a whirlwind debut year for India, especially in the T20I series against Australia where she became a formidable opponent for the Australian team. Her exceptional performances in the Commonwealth Games and the Asia Cup further established her as the ideal successor to the accomplished Jhulan Goswami.
