Gaud plays domestic cricket for Madhya Pradesh women's cricket team.[2] She took 4 wickets in the final of the 2024–25 Senior Women's One Day Trophy against Bengal.[2] She also played for Madhya Pradesh Under-23 team.[2]

In the third WPL auction in December 2024, Gaud was purchased by the UP Warriorz for ₹10 lakh.[2] Her first WPL wicket came against Delhi Capitals on 22 February, when she clean-bowled DC captain Meg Lanning.[3] In this fixture, she became the second youngest player to take a four-wicket haul in the WPL, after Issy Wong in 2023.[4][5]

International career

[edit]

In April 2025, Gaud was selected in the national team as a replacement player for Kashvee Gautam in the Sri Lanka Tri-Nation Series.[6][7][8] She made her ODI debut in the final of the Tri-Series, on 11 May against hosts Sri Lanka.[9] She was later named in the ODI and T20I squads for the away series against England.[10][11][12] Gaud made her T20I debut in that series, on 12 July.[13][14] In the third and final ODI, with the series level at 1–1, played in Chester-le-Street, she claimed her first five-wicket haul, helping India win by 13 runs.[15][16] She returned figures of 6/52, and at 21 years and 345 days, became the youngest India player to take a five-for in a women's ODI, surpassing Jhulan Goswami's record.[17]

After consistent performances, Gaud was named in the squad for the 2025 World Cup.[18] On 5 October, in India's group stage fixture against Pakistan in Colombo, she claimed three wickets and helped her team win by 88 runs. She was the Player of the Match.[19]

In a one-off Test match against England at Lord's, Gaud took a five-wicket haul in England's first innings, ending with figures of 5/37. With this spell, she became the first woman to get a Test match 5-wicket haul at Lord's.[20][21] Gaud went on to take two further wickets in England's second innings, as India won the Test match by 270 runs. She was later adjudged to be the player of the match.[22]
