Krishnamurthy’s Ten‑Year International Journey and Final Farewell

Veda Krishnamurthy’s international career spanned exactly ten years, beginning in June 2011 and concluding on March 8, 2020. During that period she featured in 48 women's One Day Internationals and 76 Twenty20 Internationals, amassing 829 and 875 runs respectively. Her batting was marked by explosive stroke play, which earned her eight half‑centuries in ODIs.

The 2017 Women's World Cup saw her deliver one of the tournament’s most electrifying innings – a 70‑run knock off just 45 balls against New Zealand. That performance helped India reach the final, a feat repeated in the 2020 T20 World Cup where Veda was again a key member of the squad.

In July 2025, Veda announced her retirement from all formats. Her social‑media farewell described her as a "girl from a small town whose dreams were huge," and expressed gratitude for the lessons cricket taught her about perseverance, humility, and self‑validation. Post‑retirement, she has turned to cricket analysis, where her insights continue to attract a growing audience.
