Her partnership with opening teammate Tanishka Sharma, who scored 79, and captain Sonia Mendhiya, who contributed 52, proved crucial in building a strong foundation for Haryana’s total. Both Sharma and Mendhiya reached half-century marks, supporting Yadav’s efforts effectively. This achievement marks Yadav’s second double century in one-day cricket, following her previous milestone in the U15 Women’s One Day Trophy in 2023.

The young cricketer’s ability to consistently perform at a high level against the same team underscores her talent and adaptability. Haryana’s dominance continued in the second innings as they restricted Tripura to 109/9 in their allotted 50 overs, securing a memorable victory.

16-Year-Old WPL Batter Shatters Records with Second Limited-Overs Double Century A 16-year-old cricketer, Deeya Yadav, has made history by scoring a second double century in limited-overs cricket, surpassing notable players like Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. Her remarkable achievement came during an Under-23 One-Day Trophy match between Haryana and Tripura in Puducherry, where she smashed 206 off just 147 balls. The innings featured 22 fours, seven sixes, and 76 runs from singles and doubles, showcasing her explosive batting skills. Yadav opened the batting for Haryana and took the attack to the Tripura bowlers, supported by Tanishka Sharma, who scored 79 off 106 balls. The pair formed an 181-run partnership, with Yadav scoring 97 from 78 balls. After Sharma’s dismissal, Yadav continued her dominance, adding 98 runs in a 160-run stand with Sonia Mendhiya. Despite Mendhiya’s dismissal on the last delivery of the penultimate over, Yadav remained five runs short of a double century. With four balls left in the innings, Yadav scored 10 more runs to cross the 200-mark, helping her team reach 356-3. This marks her second double century in limited-overs cricket, following a 213-run innings in an Under-15 One-Day Trophy game against Tripura in November 2023. Her performance has drawn attention from top franchises, leading to her signing with Delhi Capitals at their base price of INR 10 lakh for the WPL 2026 auction. She became the youngest player to feature in a WPL match after her debut against Mumbai Indians earlier this year. Yadav’s achievement also places her ahead of Mandhana and Rodrigues in the record books. Mandhana scored 224 off 150 balls for Maharashtra against Gujarat in 2013, while Rodrigues hit 224 off 150 for Mumbai against Saurashtra in 2017.#smriti_mandhana #haryana #jemimah_rodrigues #deeya_yadav #tripura
