Hailing harmanpreet

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who hit a sensational 95 not off 48 balls in Mumbai Indians qualifying for 2024 WPL playoffs with a seven-wicket win over Gujarat Giants, said there was nothing special in her mantra about the blazing knock, where the focus was to move with the pace of the calculations.

Chasing 191 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, Harmanpreet helped Mumbai smash 91 runs in the last six overs to chase down 191 with a ball to spare, which is now the highest successful chase in the history of the competition.

Harmanpreet now holds the record for the highest score by an Indian batter in the WPL. Before the strategic time-out at the end of the 13th over, Harmanpreet was at 18 off 19 balls with two boundaries. After that, she initiated a stunning acceleration by smashing 77 off the next 29 balls, including hitting eight fours and five sixes.
