Madhya Pradesh's Kranti Goud was roped in by the UP Warriorz for the  WPL 2025.

She made an immediate impact, dismissing Meg Lanning in her  debut match.

That season, she picked up 6  wickets from 8 games, leaving a  strong impression. 

Her best figures of 4/25 made her  the second-youngest player to  take a four-wicket haul in the league.

Called-up as an injury replacement, Kranti earned her ODI debut in May 2025 against Sri Lanka.

Just two months later, in July, she  made her T20I debut during India's  tour of England 2025.

Her real breakthrough came in the  third ODI against England in  July 2025, where she returned a sensational 6/52 in a must-win.

With that performance, she became only the third Indian to take a  six-wicket haul in ODIs against  England in England.

On August 19, 2025, when India announced their squad for the World Cup, Kranti’s meteoric rise was rewarded with a well-deserved spot.
