Sneh Rana

Sneh Rana is a veteran Indian all-rounder whose career is a masterclass in resilience and the art of the comeback. Born on February 18, 1994, in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, she overcame a career-threatening knee injury in 2016 that sidelined her for five years before staging a legendary return in 2021. Known for her 'I refuse to sink' tattoo, she is a world-class right-arm off-spinner and a gritty lower-order batter. Her 2025 season reached historic heights as she played a pivotal role in India’s maiden ICC Women’s ODI World Cup victory on home soil. Earlier in the year, she spearheaded India’s title win in the Sri Lanka Tri-Nation Series, claiming 15 wickets in just five games to be named Player of the Series. Rana also holds the unique distinction of being the first Indian woman spinner to take a ten-wicket haul in a Test match, a feat she achieved in 2024.In the franchise world, Rana's experience and tactical acumen have made her a highly sought-after leader. After captaining the Gujarat Giants and serving as a crucial injury replacement for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025—where she famously delivered a Player of the Match performance against Mumbai Indians—she entered a new chapter at the 2026 Women's Premier League mega auction. In November 2025, she was signed by the Delhi Capitals for ₹50 lakh, joining a star-studded squad where her ability to bowl economical spells and strike under pressure will be vital. Beyond her on-field exploits, Sneh is a senior figure in the Railways domestic setup and is celebrated for her mental toughness and leadership. As she transitions to the Capitals for the 2026 season, she remains one of the most reliable 'big-game' players in the international circuit.
