Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil is a right-arm off-spin all-rounder and a vital cog in India’s white-ball setup, known for her tight bowling, clever variations, and handy lower-middle-order batting. Born on 18 January 2002 in Bengaluru, Karnataka, she first rose through the ranks by consistently picking up wickets and scoring crucial runs in domestic tournaments, where her ability to contain runs while taking regular breakthroughs stood out. A composed temperament and good cricket-sense have made her a reliable option for both state and national teams, often used as a control spinner in the middle overs while also chipping in with the bat when needed.

Shreyanka has represented India in both T20Is and ODIs, quickly establishing herself as a trusted support bowler alongside India’s frontline spinners. Her performance in the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup, where she provided crucial support in the middle overs and helped India advance deep into the tournament, underlined her growing importance to the squad. Beyond international cricket, she has been a key figure in domestic competitions and has also featured in franchise women’s leagues, further sharpening her skills against some of the best batters in the world. Her calm demeanor under pressure and ability to execute specific plans make her a valuable asset for India’s all-round balance in limited-overs cricket.
