Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini

Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini is a cornerstone of the Indonesian women’s cricket team, serving as a dependable right-handed top-order batter and an exceptionally sharp wicket-keeper. Having made her international debut back in 2019, she has grown into one of the most prolific run-scorers and leaders in her national side, anchoring innings with tremendous technical discipline and composure. Known for her ability to spend valuable time at the crease—highlighted by a brilliant career-best unbeaten knock of 95—she reads the tempo of limited-overs matches astutely and consistently guides her team out of early trouble.

Behind the stumps, Sakarini's lightning-fast glovework has established global recognition, placing her among the leading wicket-keepers in women’s T20I history for total stumpings. Her immense experience across regional qualifiers, ICC tournaments, and multi-nation series makes her an invaluable tactical leader on the field. As Indonesia continues to make waves on the international stage and fight for major tournament qualification, Sakarini’s dual capability to score crucial runs under pressure and control the game defensively makes her the undisputed heartbeat of the squad.
