Indrani Roy (born 5 September 1997) is an Indian cricketer.[1][2] She plays for the Jharkhand women's cricket team in domestic tournaments in India.[3][4]
Roy started playing cricket at the age of 15,[5] and cites MS Dhoni as her idol.[6] She played for the Bengal under-19 team for four years, before signing with Jharkhand in 2014.[7] In 2018, Roy played for the India Blue cricket team, and a year later, also played for India C.[5] In the 2019–20 Senior Women's One Day League, Roy scored her first century in a one-day match,[8] with an unbeaten 132 runs.[9] Her match-winning century helped Jharkhand to reach the knock-out phase of the tournament, before the competition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] In the 2020–21 season, Roy scored two unbeaten centuries in the Senior Women's One Day League.[5] Roy finished the season as the leading run-scorer in the tournament,[10] with 456 runs in eight matches.[8]
In May 2021, Roy earned her maiden call-up to the India women's cricket team,[11] for their tour of England.[12] She was named in India's squad for the one-off Test match,[13] and the squads for the Women's One Day International (WODI) and Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[14][15]
