"Staying in present and trying to help my team win has been my mantra:" Sukanya Parida after a successful Senior Women's T20

"Staying in present and trying to help my team win has been my mantra:" Sukanya Parida after a successful Senior Women's T20

Sukanyaa Parida is a well-known name for people who follow Bengal women's cricket closely. She has been on the scene since the 2012-13 season for Bengal. She was a young rookie back then. But, after spending a decade on the field for Bengal, Sukanya is now a more mature bowler and athlete. Sukanya finished with 10 wickets with a bowling average of 13.10 and got selected for the East Zone as well after quite some time. The Bengal pacer shared thoughts on her game in an exclusive interview with Sportz Point.

Although Bengal could not go past the Railways hurdle in the final of the Senior Women's T20 Trophy for the third time, bowlers did well throughout the tournament. Even Sukanya believes this was one of the better seasons for her with the ball in hand.

However, scenes were not the same last season when she was not picked for the T20 team for Bengal. In fact, she was marked as "not good enough" for the shortest format of the game by some experts. Sukanya backed herself and worked with her coaches Ershad Ahmed and Moinak Sengupta to be back at her best. Even Shiv Sagar Singh, the bowling mentor for Bengal women's team spent quite a time with her as well.

"Coaches helped me a lot. They made me mentally strong during that period. They used to tell me that it just takes one spell to be back in rhythm. I knew if I can make sure the process is right, the results will come," Sukanya told Sportz Point after the practice of East Zone.

Sukanya feels the game has changed a lot in the last decade. The batters are now much more aggressive and looking to score anyhow in the T20 format of the game, which makes it more challenging for the bowlers as well. However, for Sukanya it is an opportunity to contribute to the team in the toughest situation.

"The game has changed a lot. The batters are now more attacking. So, bowling in powerplay makes it more challenging for the bowlers. But, I feel if I can contain them with two fielders outside the ring, I am doing a good job for the team," Sukanya added.

"That is why I feel planning before the game is important. Along with that noticing what the batter is trying to do, is equally crucial. I love this kind of challenge and performing in those situations makes me happy."

Sukanya, despite bowling the "toughest overs" in the powerplay and death, had an economy rate of 4.51 in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy 2022. She feels bowling tight and not leaking her is her main job upfront. According to her, if she is not leaking runs then that puts pressure on the batter which leads to wickets for other bowlers if not for herself.

"I feel being economical is my responsibility. That makes it easier for the other bowlers to take wickets if I am putting pressure with dot balls against them. It is all about putting pressure," Sukanya expressed.

With the news of the upcoming Women's IPL, the door for the Indian team can open for many women cricketers in India. But for Parida, it is about staying in present and performing well for the team.

"Yes, definitely that will be a great opportunity for many of us (if we can make it to it). But, currently, I am focusing on the games I am playing. I am looking to contribute to the team's success in any way I can. I feel, if I can do that, I will be doing good for myself as well."

At 29, Sukanya now wants to go with the flow. With many championship goals on her mind, she wants to win trophies for Bengal and the teams she plays for. "I only have championship goals in my mind. I want to win trophies for my teams. That's it," Sukanya answered when asked about her goals for the future.

The life of a pacer is never easy. Injuries are part and parcel of a pacer's life. Moreover, when you are reaching the fag end of your 20s, it keeps on getting tougher. That is why staying fit and recovering well becomes essential.

"As I also work for Indian railways, I do not get that amount of time to do my things. So, I schedule my training according to the time I have. I try to focus on specific training and skill training to be fit throughout the year even with the tight schedule," Sukanya Parida told Sportz Point.

Along with everything, Jhulan Goswami's presence as the mentor of the Women's team has been a booster for Sukanya and other bowlers in the Bengal squad. "Whenever we get her close to us, it is a moral booster for us. She has ruled over the world and her little inputs become a game changer for us while playing," Sukanya expressed.

Sukanya is currently playing for the East Zone in the Senior Women's Inter-Zonal T20 Trophy. Post that she will be preparing for the Senior Women's ODI Trophy for Bengal women's team.

Former Indian batter Jaya Sharma was only the second female Indian cricketer to have scored a century in ODI cricket. She smashed two centuries in WODI cricket in her career.

While her first century had come against Pakistan during Women's Asia Cup 2005 in Karachi, she scored another one in a winning effort against Australia in 2007 in Chennai making her the first Indian women to score an ODI century at home.

The left-handed batter could've achieved the milestone a few years before had she converted a couple of nervous 90s into hundreds.

6. Jemimah Rodrigues | 2 Centuries

Most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs: Jemimah scores her second WODI ton

Jemimah Rodrigues etched her name in the record books with a blistering century as India Women posted 337/9 in 50 overs against South Africa Women in the fifth match of the Women’s Tri-Series 2025 at Colombo.

Rodrigues delivered a sensational knock of 123 runs off just 101 balls, anchoring the middle overs and setting the tone for a massive total. Her innings featured 15 fours and one six, scored at a strike rate of 121.78.

With this century, Jemimah has now joined the elite list of most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs. This is also Rodrigues' highest score in Women's ODIs after her 102 against Ireland Women earlier this year.

5. Thirush Kamini | 2 Centuries

Most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs: Jemimah scores her second WODI ton

Regardless, she did well in her limited opportunities and notched a ton twice in her ODI career that spanned 39 matches and scored 825 runs at an average of 25.78.

Kamini's maiden ODI hundred came in India's win over the West Indies in the 2013 ODI World Cup. She stroked a 146-ball 100 to power India to a total of 284/6 in the first innings. India won that match comfortably and Thirush Kamini was rightfully awarded the POTM award.

4. Punam Raut | 3 Centuries

Most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs: Jemimah scores her second WODI ton

The diminutive Indian batter Punam Raut was one of the pillars in Indian batting along with Harmanpreet, Smriti, Mithali and Veda Krishnmurthy. Punam has recorded three centuries in women's ODI cricket.

Punam smashed one WODI century at a home venue and two WODI centuries at neutral venues. Her highest score in this format is 109 not out against Ireland Women at Potchefstroom during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2017.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur | 6 Centuries

Most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs: Jemimah scores her second WODI ton

Indian Women's Cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is one of the finest batters in Indian women’s cricket history. The right-handed batter has scored six WODI centuries in her career. 

Apart from three home WODI centuries, Harmanpreet also recorded two WODI hundreds at neutral venues and one more at an away venue. Her highest WODI score is 171 not out against Australia Women during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2017 semi-final.

2. Mithali Raj | 7 Centuries

Most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs: Jemimah scores her second WODI ton

Former Indian cricketer and captain Mithali Raj (7805 runs) is still the only player to score 6000 and 7000 WODI runs. The leading WODI run-scorer was the previous record holder for most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs.

She recorded seven WODI hundreds in her career.

While Mithali scored three WODI centuries at home, the right-handed batter recorded three WODI centuries at neutral venues and one at an away venue. Her highest WODI knock was 125 not out against Sri Lanka Women at Katunayake in 2018.

Indian opening batter Smriti Mandhana is one of the best batters in the modern generation. The left-hander holds the record for most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs.

She achieved the record solely in January 2025 after scoring a 70-ball century against Ireland in the final ODI of a three-match series in Rajkot. It was her tenth WODI hundred.
