Deandra Dottin

Deandra Dottin is the self-proclaimed 'World Boss' of women’s cricket, a title she has earned through nearly two decades of sheer physical dominance and boundary-clearing power. Born on June 21, 1991, in Barbados, the former track-and-field star is a dual-threat force who famously struck the first-ever century in Women’s T20I history—a 38-ball blitz against South Africa in 2010. After a brief retirement from international cricket in 2022, Dottin made a sensational comeback in late 2024, helping the West Indies reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Her 2025 season has been a masterclass in longevity, highlighted by a dominant stint in The Hundred, where she averaged over 48 for the Manchester Originals, and a blistering run in the WCPL where she led the Trinbago Knight Riders with her trademark aggression.

In the franchise arena, Dottin’s 'X-factor' ability made her a headline act at the 2026 Women’s Premier League mega auction in November 2025. Following a productive 2025 season with the Gujarat Giants, she was signed by the UP Warriorz for ₹80 lakh. Joining a revamped 'powerhouse' unit, she is expected to form a terrifying middle-order partnership with fellow overseas stars like Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield. For the Warriorz, Dottin is more than just a finisher; she is a 'big-match' bowler capable of delivering heavy-ball spells at the death and an elite fielder with a rocket arm. As she gears up for the 2026 season starting in January, the 'World Boss' remains one of the most box-office attractions in global cricket, proving that her power hasn't diminished with time.
