Sabbhineni Meghana Facts

  1. Meghana made her T20I (and international) debut for India in November 2016 (aged just 20) and was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2016 edition (November 26, 2016 – December 4, 2016) of the ACC (Asian Cricket Council) Women’s Asia Cup. It was the 6th edition of the tournament, the 2nd in succession that was played in the T20I format, and the 6th time that India won this title.
  2. Despite being involved in a tournament victory this early in her senior-level international career, she was in and out of the Indian team over the next few years. Meghana’s career was given a new lease of life when she finished as the leading run-scorer (388 runs in just 6 innings) in the 2021-22 season of the Women’s Senior One Day Trophy, the 16th edition of the premier women’s domestic one-day cricket competition in India.
  3. In the tournament, representing Railways, the defending champions, she top-scored (90 runs) in a 149-run victory over Odisha in the quarter-final. She also top-scored (36 runs) in an 8-wicket hammering of Karnataka in the final of the tournament.
  4. In October 2022, Meghana was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2022 edition of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup. It was the 8th edition of the tournament, the 4th in succession that was played in the T20I format, and the 7th time that India won this title – having missed out in 2018 when they were toppled by rank outsiders Bangladesh on the last ball of the tournament’s final.
  5. In February 2023, in the auction for the upcoming inaugural edition of the WPL (Women’s Premier League), she was acquired for INR 30 lakhs by the Gujarat Giants.
