Top 3 Indian Women cricketers with the most T20I wickets in 2026

India Women have been in action in the T20I format throughout the year, playing series away in England, Australia and South Africa, along with their participation in the T20 World Cup in June and the Asia Cup in Dubai. The team were unable to secure a semi-final berth out of a group consisting of Australia and South Africa in the T20 World Cup, but put on a respectable showing with bat and ball.

India's team across formats has been bolstered by a dominant bowling attack, which can pick up wickets in key moments and offer different varieties and qualities in bowling. Results may not have gone in their favour, but the bowlers were able to come off with wickets. 

Here are India's leading women's wicket-takers in 2026:

3. Nandani Sharma

Nandani Sharma has had a meteoric rise in the Indian setup and has been a regular for the Indian side in T20Is since making her debut in England in late May of this year. The seam bowler broke out with 17 wickets in the 2026 WPL season for the Delhi Capitals, the joint-highest number of wickets in the season. 

The 24-year-old has been the third-highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is in 2026, taking 12 wickets in the nine matches she has played in. She picked up three wickets on debut against England in Chelmsford and has been the side's lead seam-bowler in the Asia Cup.
