Indian Players Struggling in WPL History

The lack of Indian dominance in both batting and bowling categories is not new. Since the inception of the WPL, only one Indian player has managed to top the charts in either category. In WPL 2024, Shreyanka Patil led the wicket-taking list with 13 wickets in 8 matches. Other than that, overseas players have consistently ruled the leaderboards.

What This Means for Indian Women’s Cricket

The continued dominance of overseas players in WPL raises concerns about the development of Indian players in high-pressure T20 leagues. While several Indian cricketers have shown potential, they are yet to consistently outperform international stars. This trend highlights the need for improved training, exposure, and opportunities for domestic talent to shine at the global level.

WPL 2025 showcased some spectacular performances, but the lack of Indian representation in the top charts is a worrying sign for Indian cricket. With foreign players excelling in both batting and bowling, Indian players need to step up and make a stronger impact in future editions.
