WPL 2026: ‘Fantastic’ Anushka Sharma Is Going To Play For India, Says GG Coach Klinger
DY Patil Stadium: Batting all-rounder Anushka Sharma making a sparkling debut for Gujarat Giants (GG) with a knock of 44 in the side’s 10‑run win over UP Warriorz (UPW) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) opener at the DY Patil Stadium led to head coach Michael Klinger saying that she is going to play for India in future.
Anushka struck 44 off 30 balls in her first WPL outing, as she and captain Ashleigh Gardner, who scored a commanding 65, to power GG to 207/4 - their highest total in the competition. In reply, UPW made 197/8, despite Phoebe Litchfield’s counterattacking 78, as GG bowlers Georgia, Sophie and Renuka Singh Thakur claimed two wickets apiece.
“She’s going to be playing for India. She’s a fantastic cricketer. She has time at the crease and times the ball beautifully. She can score both along the ground and over the field, and she bowls very well too. We’re really happy to have her.
