Madiwala Mamatha

Mamatha Madiwala is a rising Indian wicketkeeper-batter whose journey from a humble background in Hyderabad to the professional stage has inspired many. Born on March 22, 2003, she initially honed her skills on the streets before being scouted at open selections and joining the Hyderabad Cricket Association. Her breakout moment came in 2022 when she represented India 'C' in the Challenger Trophy, earning acclaim as the tournament's best wicketkeeper with over seven dismissals. A right-handed batter and sharp stumper, she has consistently represented teams like Hyderabad and South Zone in domestic cricket. In September 2025, she gained national attention by scoring a gritty, unbeaten 56 for India A to help defeat New Zealand in a warm-up clash ahead of the Women's ODI World Cup.

The year 2025 marked a major milestone in her career as she was signed by the Delhi Capitals for ₹10 lakh during the 2026 Women's Premier League mega auction. This selection followed a productive domestic season where she scored 126 runs in seven innings for Hyderabad in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy. Known for her technical proficiency behind the stumps and her ability to build partnerships, she famously stitched together an unbeaten 105-run stand with Minnu Mani to secure a victory for India A. Beyond her primary role as a wicketkeeper, her versatility as a right-arm medium bowler adds further value to her athletic profile. As she prepares for her debut WPL season in 2026, she is widely regarded as one of the most promising uncapped talents ready to make an impact on the franchise stage.
