Very Grateful, All Credit To My Team: Harmanpreet On Becoming Captain With Most Wins In Women’s T20Is
Greenfield International Stadium: India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur etched her name into the record books on Friday by becoming the most successful captain in women’s T20 internationals, overtaking former Australia leader Meg Lanning. The 36-year-old, however, played down the personal milestone, stressing that the achievement was only possible because of her teammates' collective efforts.
Harmanpreet reached the landmark following India’s dominant eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. With this victory, she now has 77 wins from 130 matches as captain in the format, moving past Lanning’s tally of 76 wins from 100 games at the helm of Australia.
“That is something I never thought would happen. As a captain, you always aim to win World Cups or win series, but becoming the most successful T20 captain- that is something which I never thought, but I’m very grateful, and I would like to give all credit to my team. They’ve been outstanding. It’s because of them that we keep winning. It’s just a beginning for all of us. I know the next big thing is coming up (T20 World Cup), and hopefully, we’ll continue the same winning momentum and keep winning for Team India," she said.
