Records/Achievements (main ones)
  • While playing against Sri Lanka in ICC World Women T20 World Cup in October 2012, Bisht took a hat-trick in the last over Srilanka's innings helping India restrict the opponents to a modest 100 runs for 8 wickets. India went on to win the match.
  • In February 2017, Bisht bowled-out 5 wickets of Pakistan slipping away just 8 runs. Interestingly, 7 out of her 10 overs were maiden.

  • Bisht, in one of the league matches of ICC Women World 2017, claimed 5 wickets conceding just 18 runs in her 10 over spell. Her destructive bowling figures helped India thrash their arch-rivals Pakistan by a margin of 95 runs in a low score chase of 170.
