  "account": "Deepti Sharma etched her name in history with a remarkable 3/0 spell in Women's T20I cricket, making her the leading wicket-taker in the format. Playing her 150th T20I, the veteran all-rounder dismissed three batsmen without conceding a single run, surpassing Thailand's Thipatcha Putthawong's tally of 170 wickets. Deepti's achievement marked the first instance of an Indian bowler taking three or more wickets without conceding runs in a Women's T20I, setting a new benchmark. Her 171 wickets now place her atop the global wicket-taking chart, followed by Putthawong, Henriette Ishimwe, and Sophie Ecclestone.",
