LUCKNOW, Dec. 15 -- For most cricketers, representing India is the pinnacle. For Deepti Sharma, it's just one of two uniforms she wears with equal honour, the other being the khaki of the Uttar Pradesh Police.

The international cricketer and deputy superintendent of police (DSP) opened up about her unusual dual career in the 17th episode of UP Police's official podcast "Beyond the Badge," revealing how the discipline of sports translates seamlessly into law enforcement.

"Both the blue jersey and the khaki uniform carry the same pride and responsibility," Deepti told host and IPS officer Prachi Singh, adding that the fitness, discipline and dedication required on the cricket field prove invaluable during police training and duty.
