Kranti Gaud's Factfile: India's Fiery Young Pacer Who Has Lot To Offer On International Stage
Kranti Gaud bowled mere three overs in the final of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 against South Africa, conceding 16 runs but journey to the top is surely one right from a Bollywood movie's script
Summary
Kranti Gaud ended her first-ever Women's ODI World Cup with a winner's medal as well as 9 wickets from eight games to go with it. The 22-year-old may not have lit up the tournament, but Madhya Pradesh-born player has made a name for herself on the women's cricketing scene.
Right from a net bowler for Mumbai Indians in WPL 2024 to signing a big paycheck with UP Warriorz, Gaud made it on the big stage. The then 21-year-old got to rub shoulders with the who's who of world cricket and since then, she has not looked back.
Her final appearance was very limited with the ball as she bowled mere three overs, giving away 16 runs. But that won't bother Gaud and her family back home, as her World Cup winner's medal will be one they will be talking about for the rest of her career.
