Talking about her performance, Deepti said that taking five wickets was a big achievement for her. It was really special. Deepti told JioStar that it is difficult to choose one moment because everything I did in this game was special, but I would choose the moment of taking five wickets. Taking five wickets and winning the match for your team in an ICC tournament is very rare. When the first drinks break happened, the discussion was about playing a little better because we know how much talent and what kind of players we have in our team.
