Feeling really nice, I could contribute this way in a World Cup final. We have always thought about how we can use the takeaways from every match. Thanks to them (the people), this would not have been possible. As a team, we are feeling very happy,” she had said after winning the POTS award.“I always enjoy whichever department I am in, or whichever situation I am in. I wanted to play according to the situation. Enjoyed a lot. As a stage, to perform as an all-rounder, it cannot be a more amazing feeling. There has been a lot of change since 2017. I hope there are even more matches now (for us). I just wanted to dedicate this (POTS) trophy to my mom and dad.”PM Modi also asked Deepti about her ‘Lord Hanuman’ tattoo.”You have a tattoo of Lord Hanuman – how does it help you?” asked PM Modi.“I have more faith in him than in myself, and that helps me a lot personally in improving my game,” replied Deepti.Deepti’s outstanding performances throughout the tournament, particularly her crucial 58 runs and bowling figures of 5-39 in the final match, earned her a spot in the ICC’s Team of the Tournament.
