A well-rounded Indian women's side entered the ICC Women's World Cup at home as one of the favorites to finish in the top half of the table after a disappointing 2022 edition.
For the first time since the 2017 final, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India looks like a well-settled unit, with particularly good batting depth and young talents like Kranti Gaud and Shree Charani looking to make a mark on the world stage.
As the team continues their highly-anticipated journey on home soil, TSN keeps a tab on their performances and rates every player according to their impact on the games.

India women's report card: Rating Indian players' performance at the 2025 ODI World Cup
Pratika Rawal
Rating: Good.
The Indian opener has started the tournament with consistent starts, scoring 30s in the first three matches, followed by a 75 (96) in a crucial encounter against tournament favourites Australia.
After four matches, she is India's highest run scorer with 180 runs at an average of 45.
Smriti Mandhana
Rating: Average
The opener and vice-captain Mandhana headed into the competition in red-hot form but did not manage any big scores in the first three matches, with scores of 8, 23 and 23.
However, in the big clash against Australia, she stepped up to the occasion and gave India a blistering start with her 80 (66).
Harleen Deol
Rating: Average
Deol has looked comfortable at number 3 through the first four games, having scored 48, 46, 13, and 38, but the batter has failed to convert those starts into meaningful scores. The number of dot balls during her innings has also been an issue.
So far, she has scored 145 runs at an average of 36.25 and is India's third-highest run-scorer.
Harmanpreet Kaur
Rating: Below Average
The Indian skipper has been unable to step up under pressure for the Indians and has started the tournament slowly. Kaur has failed to provide resistance during India’s frequent middle-order collapses.
She has accumulated only 71 runs in 4 innings and her 22(17) against Australia is her highest score in the competition.
Jemimah Rodrigues
Rating: Below Average
A golden duck to start, then 32 vs Pakistan and a 30s cameo at Vizag. The role at No. 5 demands finishing or re-set batting; she’s yet to nail either consistently this week.
Although she made a useful contribution of 33 (21) against Australia, the 25-year-old failed to live up to expectations and squandered starts provided by the openers.
She has only scored 65 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 103.17 at number 5 for the women in blue.
Amanjot Kaur
Rating: Average
Amanjot has provided stability in the middle order. She has shown the ability to plug innings and rotate strike on slow surfaces, with her half-century in the opener against Sri Lanka being the highlight.
With the ball, she has picked up five wickets in three innings and has been given the new ball. However, she has been expensive, conceding nearly 7 runs per over (6.96).

Richa Ghosh
Rating: Good
Richa has been one of India's most impactful players, both with the gloves and the bat. She played a game-changing knock -- a blistering 94 against South Africa that took India from 102/6 to a competitive 251.
She followed it up with a quick-finishing cameo of 32 against Australia, but the team lost both games.
Deepti Sharma
Rating: Good
Deepti has provided useful runs, tidy overs, and big-moment fielding during the tournament. She has been among India's most consistent all-rounders, scoring handy runs in the middle order and chipping key wickets.
She has picked up nine wickets in the tournament so far. In the match against Sri Lanka, she was awarded the PoTM for her half-century with the bat and three wickets with the ball.
Sneh Rana
Rating: Good
Rana has been a true all-around contributor for India. She has scored 89 runs so far, contributing runs in the lower middle order, and backed it up with 6 wickets, providing key breakthroughs with her off spin.
Kranti Gaud
Rating: Good
The young seamer announced herself at the World Cup with a Player-of-the-Match performance against Pakistan (3/20).
She has been used aggressively with the new ball and has delivered early breakthroughs, before failing to make an impact against Australia.
Sree Charani
Rating: Good
Charani has been effective in the middle overs for India with her left-arm spin. She finished with figures of 3/41 in 10 overs against Australia, in a game that saw 661 runs scored.
Overall, she has taken six wickets at an economy of 4.14, with best figures of 3/41.
Renuka Singh
Rating: Below average
Renuka, who was previously India's lead pacer, has only played one match (against Pakistan), where she wicketless. It remains to be seen if she will be back in the playing XI for the upcoming games.
