Wyatt carries a healthy strike rate of 127.10 in 88 T20Is. In 2018, she has been at the top of her form scoring 337 runs off 10 matches with the highest score of 124 (seldom to find in T20Is) at an astonishing strike rate of 162.80.
Off the ground, she had once expressed her wish to marry Virat Kohli. Her tweet went viral and spread like fire in the woods. Now, she is known to as many Indians as Britishers.
