A well-rounded India women's side enters the ICC Women's World Cup at home as one of the favourites 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 embarks on a highly-anticipated journey on their 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 throughout the course of the first four games, having scored 48, 46, 13 and 38, but the batter has failed to score big and the number of dot balls in the middle has 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, starting 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 the highest score for her in the competition.
Jemimah Rodrigues
Rating: Below Average
The fairly experienced campaigner, Jemimah Rodrigues, started the tournament with a golden duck on her World Cup debut before scoring 32 and another duck ahead of the Australia clash.
Although she made a useful contribution of 33(21) against Australia, the 25-year-old has failed to live up to the expectations and squandered a great start given by the openers.
She has scored only 65 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 103.17 at number 5 for the women in blue.
Amanjot Kaur
Rating: Good
Amanjot has provided stability in the middle order. She has shown the ability to plug innings and rotate strike on slow surfaces (influential in the Sri Lanka win), and has been a sensible, responsible option when India needed to rebuild.

Richa Ghosh
Rating: Very Good
Richa has been India's impact player with the gloves and the bat. She has played one proper game-changing knock - a blistering 94 against South Africa that rescued India from 102/6 to a competitive 251, and followed with quick finishing cameos (32 vs Australia).
If India's tournament has a heartbeat in late innings, it's often Richa's hitting.
Deepti Sharma
Rating: Very Good
Deepti has been performing calmly: useful runs, tidy overs and big-moment fielding. She has been among India's most consistent all-rounders - scoring handy runs in middle order, chipping key wickets.
In the match against Sri Lanka, she was awarded the PoTM for her half century with the bat and 3 wickets with the ball.
Sneh Rana
Rating: Good
Rana has been a true all-round contributor for India. She has scored 89 runs so far, often stabilizing the lower middle order, and backed it up with 6 wickets, providing key breakthroughs with her left-arm spin.
Kranti Gaud
Rating: Good
The young seamer has announced herself - a Player-of-the-Match performance against Pakistan and athletic fielding highlights have made headlines. She has been used aggressively with the new ball and has delivered early breakthroughs, bringing the pace dimension India needed.
Sree Charani
Rating: Good
Charani has been effective with early breakthroughs and tidy spells in patches. She provided timely wicket (3) in the Australia game and has been a useful seam option in tandem with Kranti and Renuka.
Overall, she has taken 6 wickets at an economy of 4.14 and a best figure of 3/41.
Renuka Singh
Rating: Below average
Pacer Renuka Singh has only played one match (against Pakistan) and has gone wicketless for her full 10 overs. It remains to be seen if she will be back in the playing XI for upcoming games.
