Deepti Bhagwan Sharma (born 24 August 1997 in Saharanpur) is an Indian cricketer. She is an all-rounder who bats left-handed, and bowls right arm off breaks. In December 2010, when she was thirteen, she played her first match for Uttar Pradesh Women's Under-19s.[1] Four years later, aged seventeen, she was chosen to play for India Women, making her debut in a One Day International (ODI) match against South Africa Women at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.[2] She played in her first Twenty20 International (T20I) in January 2016, against Australia Women at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[3] In a 2017 ODI, she scored 188 against Ireland Women, sharing a world record opening stand of 320 with Punam Raut.[4] Sharma has gone on to make well over 100 appearances in both of the ODI and T20I formats.[1]

Sharma is considered to be a good fielder.[4] She is a reliable off-spinner. Batters find her bowling difficult to play against because she constantly varies her speed. As a batter, she is usually middle order, but has often played top order.[4]

In domestic cricket, Sharma played for Uttar Pradesh Women for three seasons between 2014 and 2017. She left to join Bengal Women, and played for them until 2024, when she rejoined Uttar Pradesh Women.[1][4] She has played for a number of franchise teams in Australia and England, besides UP Warriorz Women in India.[1]
