'Not Thinking About That But...': Deepti Sharma On India's ODI World Cup Preparations
Last Updated: Deepti Sharma believes the Indian team is on the right path for the Women's ODI World Cup but emphasizes focusing on the current series against England. Deepti Sharma believes the Indian team is on the right path regarding preparations for the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup. However, she emphasises the importance of focusing on the current series against England, as the marquee event is still two months away. Deepti scored a composed 62 not out during India's successful chase of 259 in the opening WODI against England on Wednesday. This series is India's second-last 50-over series before the World Cup, with one more at home against Australia starting on September 14. The Women's ODI World Cup begins on September 30, with India facing Sri Lanka in their opening match. 'Just in terms of preparation for the World Cup, I think as a team, we did some really good things in Sri Lanka and here also. World Cup is a little too far (away). We are not thinking about that but definitely we are going one match at a time. That's what we are thinking at the moment," Deepti mentioned at the post-match press conference after leading the team to a four-wicket victory over England. She believes her calmness played a significant role in achieving the target with ease, and her 90-run partnership with Jemimah Rodrigues was a game-changer. 'I knew that I can be calm and composed. It (partnership with Rodrigues) was a turning point for us. We had focused that we have to focus on partnership when I was batting with Jemie (Rodrigues' nickname). 'When we were at the crease, the plan was to go at 5-6 runs per over and that's what we did." Deepti often faces criticism for her batting in the slog overs but never felt pressured during her time in the middle. 'Actually, I was not nervous because I played this kind of situation earlier and a few matches back also. I knew that if I play till the end with Jemi, we can take the game. I was quite confident that if I am there, I will have to finish and I was focusing more on that."
