About Renuka Singh Thakur

Read full biographyClose biography

When Indian cricket bid farewell to the legendary Jhulan Goswami , there was a glaring void at the top of the pace attack. In Renuka Singh Thakur , India found the perfect successor. Hailing from the scenic hill station of Shimla , Renuka’s rise to the international stage was built on years of quiet persistence and standout domestic performances. Her cricketing journey began in 2009 , when she joined the HPCA Residential Academy in Dharamsala . Climbing through the ranks of Himachal Pradesh's age-group cricket , Renuka made her mark in the 2019–20 Senior Women’s One Day League , finishing as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker —an achievement that brought her into national reckoning. Renuka earned her maiden India call-up in 2021 for the series against Australia , and she has been a mainstay in the bowling attack ever since. With her natural ability to swing the ball, particularly her lethal inswingers with the new ball , Renuka quickly established herself as India’s pace spearhead . She represented India in the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup and later that year, led the bowling charts at the 2022 Commonwealth Games , playing a key role in India’s silver-medal finish . Renuka was signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL) season and played an important role in their title-winning campaign in 2024 . With pace, precision, and the temperament to lead the attack, Renuka Singh Thakur has firmly stepped into the shoes of her predecessor—carrying forward India’s proud legacy of world-class fast bowlers.
