Sneh Rana etched her name into the history books of Indian women’s cricket on Monday, becoming just the second player to achieve a ten-wicket haul in a Test match. The off-spinner’s exceptional performance against South Africa at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai saw her claim eight wickets in the first innings, playing a crucial role in bowling out the visitors for 266. Rana’s dominance continued into the second innings, where she added two more wickets to her tally, completing a remarkable feat.
Jhulan Goswami, the legendary Indian fast bowler, remains the only other woman to have achieved this milestone, achieving it against England in Taunton back in 2006. Rana’s achievement is a testament to her talent and dedication, showcasing her ability to consistently deliver wickets and make a significant impact on the game. This historic performance will undoubtedly be remembered as a defining moment in her career, solidifying her place among the elite bowlers of the women’s game.
