Next up is India's opening batter, Shafali Verma, who was crowned Player of the Match in the recent Women's World Cup Final.

3) Meg Lanning

DC's former captain, Australian Meg Lanning, led the franchise to three finals. While all turned out to be unsuccesful for them, her importance with the bat in those campaigns cannot be overlooked.
