The Indian women's cricket team has been blessed with exceptional bowling talents. From fast bowlers to clever spinners, these bowlers have consistently delivered match-winning performances on the big stages. Here we take a look at the five best individual bowling figures recorded by Indian women in ODIs, which reflect their dominance and skill.
Mamta Maben devastated the opposition batting order in the fourth ODI against Sri Lanka at Kandy on April 25, 2004, taking 6 wickets for just 10 runs in 6.2 overs including three maidens. Her disciplined and controlled spell played a key role in bundling out Sri Lanka for just 66 runs and giving India a comfortable 10-wicket win. It remains the gold standard of Indian women's ODI bowling.
Deepti Sharma showed her bowling prowess in the third ODI of the ICC Women's Championship at Ranchi on 19 February 2016. Deepti completely demolished the Sri Lankan batting order by taking 6 wickets for 20 runs in 9.2 overs and bundled them out for 112 runs. Her brilliant performance with the ball and a patient innings of 28 runs with the bat earned her the Player of the Match award for a memorable all-round performance.
Jhulan Goswami made her debut as a fast bowler during the NatWest Women's Quadrangular Series at Southgate on July 4, 2011. Goswami showcased her fast and accurate bowling by taking 6 wickets for 31 runs in 10 overs against New Zealand. Despite her career-best performance in restricting the White Ferns to 201/8, the Indian batsmen faltered and the team lost. Nevertheless, Goswami's performance remains one of the best individual bowling performances in Indian women's ODI history.
Kranti Goud, who etched his name in the record books against England at Chester-le-Street on July 22, 2025. In a thrilling decider of the series, Goud produced a match-winning performance by taking 6 wickets for 52 runs in 9.5 overs. Defending a target of 319 runs, he took timely wickets, including crucial wickets of key English batsmen, to bundle out England for 305 and India won the series by 13 runs. At just 19 years of age, Goud's performance points to a bright future for Indian fast bowling.
Left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht performed brilliantly during the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Colombo on February 19, 2017. Bisht devastated Pakistan's batting by taking 5 wickets for only 8 runs in her 10 overs including seven maidens. Thanks to her aggressive bowling, India bundled out its arch-rival for just 67 runs and won by a comfortable 7 wickets. She received the Player of the Match award.
