Shikha Pandey has played a lot of cricket for India in the international circuit during her nine-year-long career. The veteran has represented the Indian team in more than 100 games. At the WPL auction, her base price was INR 40 lakh but with her magnificent all-round talent, she succeeded in pulling off a contract from DC for INR 60 lakh.
Her international experience and WT20I figures played an important role to help her win the confidence of DC and GG as well. Till now, Pandey has featured in 62 WT20Is and has amassed 208 runs at a strike rate of 79.08. Discussing her bowling performance, the 33-year-old has picked up 43 wickets at an economy of 6.49.
In the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup, she ended up as the third most successful bowler for the team, claiming three scalps in three games at an economy of 6.60. Considering her current form, her franchise will look to utilse her at the maiden edition of the much-awaited cricketing event.
