DC vs GG WPL 2026: Nandani Sharma Scripts History, Becomes Highest Indian Wicket-Taker In Single Season

DC vs GG WPL 2026: Delhi Capitals' star fast bowler Nandani Sharma has scripted history as she has become the highest Indian wicket-taker in a single edition of the WPL. Hailing from Chandigarh, she has taken 16 wickets after playing in nine matches this year and is more than Saika Ishaque's tally of 15 wickets for MI in WPL 2023.

Nandani, who has taken 14 wickets for Delhi Capitals this season, had taken two wickets on the first two balls of her first over of the ongoing Eliminator against Gujarat Giants. She first took the wicket of Anushka Sharma (16) and then dismissed the GG captain Ashleigh Gardner for a duck.

Apart from Nandani and Saika, Shree Charani is the other Indian bowler to have taken the most wickets in a single season. Charani has taken 14 wickets while playing for Delhi Capitals in WPL 2026.
