On 15 May 2017, in a WODI versus Ireland, Sharma set a world record opening partnership of 320 runs with Poonam Raut, contributing 188. This beat both the standing women's record of 229 (by Sarah Taylor and Caroline Atkins of England) and the standing men's record in ODIs of 286 (by Upul Tharanga and Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka).[4][5][6]

Sharma was part of the Indian team to reach the final of the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup where the team lost to England by nine runs.[7][8][9]

Sharma's bowling best is 6-20 that she claimed in the final ODI against Sri Lanka at Ranchi. [10]

Roped in by Bengal for the upcoming senior women's domestic season in November 2017, she will be playing alongside Jhulan Goswami.[11]
