India women’s team head coach Amol Muzumdar lavished high praise on all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who he now calls Stokesy after English cricket’s game-changer Ben Stokes. “I jokingly call Deepti ‘Stokesy’. Nine wickets and a fifty… she’s an important cog in the wheel and it [the performance] is important for her confidence,” Muzumdar said during the post-match presentation on Saturday.

Deepti’s all-round effort (nine-wicket match haul and 67 in the first innings) helped Harmanpreet Kaur & Co score a huge 347-run triumph over England in the one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium here.
