Who is Latika Inamdar?

Latika Madhav Inamdar is an Indian domestic cricketer who represents Vidarbha in women's cricket. Born on December 6, 1999, she is a left-handed wicketkeeper-batter who has progressed through age-group cricket to senior domestic competitions. Although she has yet to make her international debut, her performances have highlighted her potential as a batter. She used to open the batting and plays at the middle order as well.

Early Life and Cricket Career

Inamdar rose through Vidarbha's age-group cricket system and was appointed captain of the state's Under-19 women's team for the inter-state one-day tournament in February 2019. She subsequently featured in Under-23 and senior women's competitions, gaining experience across formats.

One of her notable early performances came in the 2018-19 Women's Under-19 One-Day tournament, where she scored 239 runs in seven matches at an average of 39.83, including an unbeaten 86. She also impressed in the Under-23 T20 competition that season, accumulating 196 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 119.51.

In the 2021-22 Senior Women's One Day Trophy, Inamdar scored 166 runs in five matches at an average of 41.50. Her campaign included a century, with a highest score of 112, underlining her ability to produce substantial innings in domestic cricket.

Inamdar's experience as a wicketkeeper-batter allows her to contribute in two important roles. She has also represented regional teams, including Nagpur Titans Women in the Vidarbha Women's Pro T20 League. In the Vidarbha T20 League, Latika won the title with India Warriors in 2026.

She entered the WPL 2026 auction pool as an uncapped Indian player with a base price of ₹10 lakh, and was sold at the same by MI women.
