Early life

{{Fan POV|date=February 2023}}

Deepti Sharma was born to Sushilaa and Bhagwan Sharma. She is the youngest among her siblings. Her father is a retired employee of the Indian Railways. She developed an interest in the game of cricket at an early age of 9. Sharma would on a daily basis ask her father to request her brother Sumit Sharma (who initially coached her), a former Uttar Pradesh pacer, to take her to the ground and watch the net practices and other matches. During one of the net practices which involved her brother and his teammates at the Ekalavya Sports Stadium in Agra, she was asked to throw the ball back into play. The ball hit the stumps on a direct throw from a distance of 50 metres.{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/agra/womens-world-cup-will-be-the-biggest-raksha-bandhan-gift-says-deepti-sharmas-brother/articleshow/59705138.cms|title=Women's World Cup will be the biggest 'Raksha Bandhan' gift, says Deepti Sharma's brother - Times of India|website=The Times of India|date=21 July 2017 |access-date=2018-12-15}} This was spotted by then India's national women's team selector, Hemlata Kala{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/53917.html|title=Hemlata Kala|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2018-12-15|archive-date=16 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216012319/http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/53917.html|url-status=live}}
