Neetu David

Neetu David is one of India’s greatest women cricketers and a legendary left-arm spinner known for her precision, flight, and game-changing spells. She holds the record for the best bowling figures in a Women’s Test innings, 8/53 against England in 1995, a milestone that remains untouched and symbolizes her dominance. With over 100 international wickets, she set standards in spin bowling at a time when women’s cricket had limited recognition. Retiring from international cricket in 2008, Neetu later contributed to the sport as a selector, shaping India’s modern women’s cricket era.
