    WPL 2025: I Love Challenges, No Matter The Level, Says UP Warriorz Captain Deepti Sharma

    Star Sports Press Room: As the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 gears up for another thrilling season, a fresh chapter unfolds for the UP Warriorz. Off-spinning all-rounder Deepti Sharma has been given the captaincy role Australian star Alyssa Healy was ruled out due to a foot injury. With the tournament set to begin on Friday, Deepti is ready to embrace the challenge of leading the WPL side for the first time.

    Deepti, who has previously led her state team, is no stranger to leadership. She acknowledged Healy’s absence as a significant loss but expressed her determination to guide the Warriorz towards a stronger and more consistent campaign. “I am excited about captaining in the WPL. I have led my state team before, so I will draw from that experience. This is a different challenge, but I love challenges, no matter the level,” Deepti said in the Star Sports Press Room programme.

    UP Warriorz finished third in the inaugural WPL season but faltered last year, exiting at the league stage. Deepti’s leadership, backed by her stellar performances in 2024 — where she scored 295 runs and took 10 wickets, including a historic hat-trick — will be crucial in their bid for redemption.
