Deepti Sharma vs Amelia Kerr: Comparing Their Batting Stats And Records

Deepti Sharma has been one of India’s leading all-rounders for nearly a decade, scoring crucial runs and taking wickets across all three formats. Amelia Kerr has done the same for New Zealand and has produced some of the biggest scores in women’s cricket history.

Both are premier all-rounders in women’s cricket right now and both are key players in their respective teams. Now, Comparing twheir stats and records across formats will determine who has the stronger edge between the two.

ODI Cricket

Kerr holds the clear advantage here. In 93 ODI matches she has scored 2715 runs at an average of 43.1 with 5 centuries, 12 fifties, a highest score of 232 not out, and a strike rate of 83.1. Her unbeaten 232 remains one of the highest individual scores in women’s ODI history and highlights her ability to play innings that few batters can match in the 50-over format.

Deepti has played 124 ODIs and scored 2771 runs at 36.0 with 1 century, 18 fifties, a highest of 188, and a strike rate of 70.4. She has played 31 more matches than Kerr and scored just 56 more runs. That difference shows Kerr has scored runs at a much higher rate across her ODI career.

Kerr averages 43.1 against Deepti’s 36.0. Her strike rate of 83.1 is more than 12 runs per hundred balls higher. She has 5 ODI centuries to Deepti’s 1. Every major batting metric in ODI cricket points the same way. Kerr wins ODI cricket convincingly.

T20 International Cricket

Amelia Kerr also triumphs in the T20I format. Kerr has played 100 T20Is and scored 1930 runs at an average of 31.1 with 2 centuries, 7 fifties, a highest of 105, and a strike rate of 118.5. Two T20I centuries is a rare achievement in women’s cricket and her highest score of 105 shows she can bat through an innings while maintaining a strong scoring rate.

Deepti has played 145 T20Is and scored 1222 runs at 22.2 with no centuries, 2 fifties, a highest of 64, and a strike rate of 105.5. She has played 45 more T20I matches than Kerr but has scored 708 fewer runs. Deepti averages 22.2 against Kerr’s 31.1. Her strike rate of 105.5 against Kerr’s 118.5 shows Kerr scores both more heavily and more quickly.

It is worth noting that Deepti bats lower in the order than Kerr in T20Is and her primary T20I value lies in her bowling. But comparing batting stats directly, Kerr wins this format comfortably as well.

Test Cricket

Deepti sharma is the clear winner here. As of 2026, Amelia Kerr has not made her Test cricket debut. So a direct comparison cannot be made here.

Deepti has performed well in the longest format when given the opportunity. In 6 Tests she has scored 335 runs at an average of 47.9 with 4 fifties and a highest of 78. Her average of 47.9 reflects a batter who has adapted effectively to Test match conditions despite a strike rate of 42.6, which is typical of the format.

The Test section stands as Deepti’s alone. How Kerr would perform in that format remains an unanswered question.

Who Is the Better Batter?

As a batter, Amelia Kerr is the stronger performer across the formats where comparison is possible. She holds a higher ODI average by more than seven runs, a higher T20I average by nearly nine runs, and a higher strike rate in both formats. Her 5 ODI centuries against Deepti’s 1, and her 2 T20I centuries against Deepti’s none, show she produces big scores more frequently.

Deepti Sharma is the superior Test batter based on available data and brings greater all-round value with the ball across all three formats. But purely as a batter, Kerr’s numbers across ODIs and T20Is make the difference clear. The statistical advantage belongs to Kerr.
