India women’s team coach Amol Muzumdar showered praise on Deepti Sharma at the HT Summit, revealing that he fondly calls her “Stokesy” due to her striking similarities with England Test captain Ben Stokes. Muzumdar highlighted how both players bat left-handed, bowl right-handed, occupy the No. 6 batting position, rarely miss matches, and possess exceptional fielding skills.
