Meet Sneh Rana: India’s Cricket Sensation With Historic 10-Wicket Haul In Tests

India’s women’s cricket team celebrated a resounding victory in the one-off Test against South Africa, securing the trophy in impressive fashion. Sneh Rana, the standout performer of the match, was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ for her exceptional performance, including a historic 10-wicket haul.

Sneh Rana, a 30-year-old right-arm off-break spinner, etched her name in Indian cricket history by becoming only the second woman from India to achieve a ten-wicket haul in Test cricket, following in the footsteps of Jhulan Goswami. Her feat included eight wickets in the first innings and two more in the second innings of the IND vs SA encounter.

Beyond her Test success, Rana has also made significant contributions in ODIs and T20Is, boasting 29 and 24 wickets respectively in those formats.

India’s victory was anchored by a stellar performance throughout the match, highlighted by Shafali Verma’s remarkable double hundred in the first innings. India posted a commanding total of 603 runs, setting the stage for a comprehensive 10-wicket win over South Africa on the fourth day of play.

The match showcased India’s dominance and depth in women’s cricket, reaffirming their prowess on the international stage.
