Who is Medhavi Bidhuri? Meet the DPL 2026 Leg-Spinner Behind Viral ‘6-7’ Celebration

Medhavi Bidhuri is quickly becoming one of the most recognisable young faces in the Women's Delhi Premier League, with her performances on the field now being matched by a viral wicket-taking celebration that has caught the attention of cricket fans on social media.

The 20-year-old right-arm leg-spinner is representing the Central Delhi Queens in the 2026 DPL, having previously played a key role in South Delhi Superstarz's back-to-back title-winning campaigns.

Her latest chapter began against her former side, as Bidhuri returned figures of 2/24 from four overs in Central Delhi's tournament opener on August 20.

But it is her reccent '6-7' celebration that has helped propel her beyond the DPL and into the wider social-media conversation.

Medhavi Bidhuri's '6-7' celebration goes viral

Bidhuri's wicket-taking celebration has become a talking point among fans following her recent performances.

The celebration, she has revealed, was suggested by her younger sister, on account of her jersey number. Bidhuri took the advice and incorporated the gesture into her celebrations, with clips subsequently gaining traction across social media.

The celebration has added another layer to the profile of a young cricketer already beginning to establish herself in Delhi's domestic structure.

Her appeal has particularly resonated with younger cricket fans, with social-media users and commentators identifying her as one of the players to watch in the DPL.

From Delhi domestic cricket to the DPL

Bidhuri broke into Delhi's senior domestic setup in 2022, making her debut in the Senior Women's T20 League.

Her early numbers highlighted her ability to bowl economically. She recorded figures of 0/11 from four overs against Manipur, while also producing economical spells against Assam and Karnataka.

Her breakthrough on the DPL stage came in 2024 with South Delhi Superstarz.

On her DPL debut against East Delhi Riders, Bidhuri claimed three wickets, immediately putting herself on the radar as a promising leg-spinner.

She remained with South Delhi for the 2025 season and played an important role in their title defence.

The defining performance of Bidhuri's DPL career to that point came in the 2025 final.

Facing Central Delhi Queens, she produced a match-winning spell of 3/26 from three overs as South Delhi Superstarz defended their title by just one run.

She finished the 2025 campaign with five wickets in four matches and was among South Delhi's joint-highest wicket-takers.

The performance was particularly significant given the twist that followed: Bidhuri switched from South Delhi to Central Delhi ahead of the 2026 season.

Her first match for the Queens therefore came against the franchise she had helped defeat in the previous year's final.

Bidhuri responded with another two-wicket haul, taking 2/24 in her four overs against her former team.

WPL auction pool recognition

Her performances in domestic cricket have also earned Bidhuri recognition beyond the DPL.

She was included in the Women's Premier League player auction pool with a base price of ₹10 lakh, underlining her emergence as a player who could attract attention from the country's leading franchise competition.

For a young leg-spinner, the combination of domestic experience, control and an ability to produce wickets in important matches has helped establish her as an intriguing prospect.

Who is Medhavi Bidhuri?

Born on October 29, 2005, Bidhuri is a right-hand batter and right-arm leg-spinner who bowls legbreak googlies.

She has trained at the RPCA Academy, working alongside professional coaches as well as specialist strength and physiotherapy staff.

Her DPL record already includes several notable spells:

• 2026: 2/24 against South Delhi Superstarz
• 2025 final: 3/26 against Central Delhi Queens
• 2025: 2/9 against East Delhi Riders
• 2024 DPL debut: Three-wicket haul against East Delhi Riders
• 2022 Senior Women's T20 League: 0/11 against Manipur

The numbers tell one part of the story. The growing attention around her '6-7' celebration suggests Bidhuri is beginning to develop something equally valuable in modern cricket: an identity that fans can instantly recognise.

With Central Delhi Queens and the 2026 DPL providing her latest platform, Bidhuri has an opportunity to turn that early buzz into sustained performances - and potentially make the next step towards the WPL.
