Shafali Verma Joins Elite 1000-Run Club in WPL

Shafali Verma becomes the second Indian and fourth overall player to achieve 1000+ runs in the Women's Premier League. Read more about this milestone!

Shafali Verma, an opener for the Delhi Capitals, has etched her name in the Women's Premier League history books. As of January 20, 2026, she is the second Indian player to achieve the remarkable feat of scoring over 1000 runs in the tournament. This significant milestone was reached during a WPL 2026 match against the Mumbai Indians, held at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday.

Verma joins a distinguished list of cricketers who have reached this benchmark. The first Indian player to achieve this was Mumbai Indians' captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, who accomplished the feat earlier this season. England's Nat Sciver-Brunt, an all-rounder for the Mumbai Indians, was the inaugural player in the league's history to surpass 1000 runs, achieving it last season. Meg Lanning, currently captaining the UP Warriorz, is also among the players who have accumulated over 1000 runs in the WPL.
