Anjum Chopra was one of the finest batters to represent India women’s national cricket team and played a key role in the growth of women’s cricket in the country. Known for her elegant left-handed batting and calm approach under pressure, Chopra often drew comparisons with former England batter David Gower because of her graceful stroke play. Predominantly strong through straight down the ground, she was also fearless against spin bowling and regularly stepped out to dominate bowlers.

Here are top three performances of Anjum Chopra in international cricket:

100 vs England Women, Northampton, 1999

One of Chopra’s finest innings came against England women in the second ODI at Northampton in 1999. India Women secured an emphatic 86-run victory, thanks largely to Chopra’s magnificent century. Batting first, India posted 213/7 in their allotted overs, with Anju Jain contributing 54 runs while Chopra played the standout innings of 100 off 128 balls, striking 13 boundaries.

Her knock displayed remarkable patience and composure, anchoring the innings beautifully. For England, Clare Connor impressed with figures of 5/49. However, England struggled during the chase and were bowled out for 127 runs. Kathryn Leng top-scored with 35, while India’s bowling attack shared the wickets. Kalyani Dhokarikar, Deepa Marathe, and Rupanjali Shastri picked up two wickets each. Chopra’s century remains one of the memorable ODI hundreds in Indian women’s cricket history.

86* vs Pakistan Women, Karachi, 2005

Chopra once again showcased her consistency and temperament during the Women’s Asia Cup clash against Pakistan women in Karachi in 2005. India produced a dominant display to register a massive 193-run victory, and Chopra played a crucial role with a composed unbeaten innings. Batting first, India piled up 289/2, with Jaya Sharma smashing an unbeaten 138. Chopra complemented her brilliantly, remaining not out on 86 off 112 deliveries, including seven fours and one six. Her innings was a perfect mix of sensible stroke play and controlled aggression, helping India post a huge total.

Pakistan struggled badly in reply and were bundled out for just 96 runs. India’s bowlers completely dominated proceedings, led by Neetu David, who claimed 3/7. Nooshin Al Khadeer took 2/7, while Reema Malhotra picked up 2/14. Chopra’s unbeaten knock played a vital role in one of India’s most commanding victories over Pakistan Women.

90 vs West Indies Women, Gurgaon, 2004

Another memorable innings from Chopra came in the fifth ODI against West Indies women at Gurgaon in 2004. India Women completely outclassed the visitors to secure a huge 170-run victory. India batted first and scored 256/4, with Arundhati Kirkire scoring an excellent 106. Chopra played a crucial supporting role with a classy 90 off 115 balls, striking seven boundaries during her innings. Together, the pair laid the foundation for a massive total.

For the West Indies, Jacqueline Robinson picked up 2/53, but the chase never gained momentum. The visitors were bowled out for just 86 runs as India’s bowlers dominated throughout the innings. Mamatha Maben starred with the ball, taking 4/23 in six overs to complete a comprehensive Indian victory.
