India women's spinner Deepti Sharma has created history by becoming the all-time leading wicket-taker in T20I cricket.

The amazing milestone was achieved by Deepti in the 5th T20I match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday (December 30) at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.

She got the wicket of Nilakshika Silva to get past Megan Shutt of Australia. Deepti now has 152 T20I wickets, the most in the world. Sharma bowled a tidy spell on the night, finishing up with 28 for 1 in her four overs.

Along with that, the Indian player has gone up to 334 international wickets across all format, which puts her 2nd in the all-time list. Deepti just requires 2 wickets to go past India legend Jhulan Goswami and England's Katherine Sciver-Brunt, who both have 335 wickets each in Women's cricket.
