Watching net practices and matches fueled her passion, and it wasn’t long before she started her journey in cricket.

Interestingly, off-spin wasn’t Deepti’s natural skill. Initially, she tried her hand at medium-pace bowling during her early teens. However, on the advice of selectors and local coaches, she switched to off-spin, a decision that would shape her career. Despite the challenges of mastering a new skill, Deepti’s height and natural ball release made her a formidable off-spinner.
