The off-break is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series along with Asha Sobhana with 4 wickets to her name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to tackle pressure situations. My thought process is very clear. I always want to make the team win or place the team in a winning position, whether it is with my batting or bowling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Deepti also lauded the Indian batters for understanding the conditions well and moulding their game as per that. Their opener Smriti Mandhana has looked in red-hot form after racking up back-to-back hundreds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe openers played as per the conditions. The ball was moving around a little bit in the initial overs, and they played within themselves. They adapted well. After 10-12 overs, we built some good partnerships. They used every scoring opportunity in that area and that\u2019s a positive for us \u2013 the way we capitalised later on,\u201d Deepti added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"authors__container\">\n<div class=\"authors__by\">\n<p>Published By: <\/p>\n<p>sabyasachi chowdhury<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"published__on\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Jun 23, 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/cricket\/story\/ind-w-vs-sa-w-dead-rubber-deepti-sharma-india-south-africa-2556795-2024-06-23?utm_source=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Deepti Sharma said that India would not be approaching their last ODI against South Africa as a dead rubber.
