Born on October 25, 2005, Niki Prasad is a rising off-spinning all-rounder who has rapidly climbed the ranks of Indian cricket. She first made waves in the Bengaluru club circuit, famously signaling her intent by hitting Deepti Sharma for a series of big sixes. Prasad’s leadership credentials are as impressive as her on-field skills. After captaining Team C to the 2024 U-19 Women’s Challenger T20 title as the tournament’s leading run-scorer, she was appointed captain of the national side. She successfully guided the India U-19 team to the 2025 ICC Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup title, showcasing immense tactical maturity. Her TATA WPL debut for the Delhi Capitals was equally clinical in 2025, where she earned Player of the Match. Recognizing her high ceiling, the franchise has retained her for INR 50 lakh ahead of the 2026 season. With an opportunity to further sharpen her craft alongside world-class talent, Prasad is firmly established as one of the most exciting young prospects in the game.
