Spin Sensation: Siddhi Choudhary Emerges as Delhi’s Leading Wicket-Taker

By Sports Desk | New Delhi

NEW DELHI – In a season that has seen several young talents rise through the ranks of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), one name has consistently echoed across the grounds of the capital: Siddhi Choudhary.

The 13-year-old off-spinner has completed a dream run in the recently concluded BCCI Women’s Under-15 One Day Trophy, finishing as the highest wicket-taker for Delhi and cementing her status as one of the most clinical bowlers in the domestic circuit.

A Breakthrough Season

After being a “standby” player just a year ago, Siddhi’s journey to the top of the leaderboards is a testament to her grit. This season, she didn’t just break into the main squad; she became the captain’s “go-to” bowler. Her ability to extract turn on flat tracks and her deceptive flight left even the most seasoned opening batters struggling to find their rhythm.

“Siddhi has shown remarkable maturity for her age,” said a senior DDCA official. “Her control over her line and length is what sets her apart. Becoming the highest wicket-taker in a competitive zone like Delhi is no small feat.”

Key Highlights of Her Tournament

The Golden Arm: Siddhi ended the tournament as Delhi’s most successful bowler, consistently picking up crucial middle-order wickets.

Economy King: Beyond just wickets, she maintained an impressive economy rate, often bowling maiden overs during the “power-play” and death overs.

Match-Winning Spells: Her performance against powerhouse teams like Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai proved pivotal in Delhi’s successful campaign, where she frequently provided the first breakthrough.

The Road Ahead

Born on February 25, 2012, Siddhi is still in the early stages of what many experts believe will be a long and fruitful career. With the DDCA emphasizing youth development, her transition to the Under-19 category in the coming years is highly anticipated.

As the trophies are handed out and the season draws to a close, Siddhi Choudhary remains grounded. For this young off-spinner, the journey has just begun, and the wickets are only going to keep falling.
