Deeya Yadav

A hard-hitting top-order batter from Haryana, Deeya Yadav modelled her game on her state-mate Shafali Verma. Deeya enjoyed a breakout 2025-26 season, when she smashed 298 runs in eight innings at an average of 59.50 and a strike rate of 128 in the domestic T20 trophy. Her stable base, excellent hand-eye coordination and big hitting immediately prompted comparisons with Shafali. She carried that form into the inter-zonal T20s, where her strike rate touched 150 as she powered North Zone to the final. At 16, she was picked by Delhi Capitals at the WPL 2026 auction.
