Indian women’s cricket team suffered yet another defeat in the knockouts of a multi-nation event. Australia Women defeated the Indian team to reach the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. At one stage, India was cruising towards the win, but the run-out of Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur changed the whole scenario.

Kaur and wicket-keeper batter Richa Ghosh were at the crease when India needed 41 runs from the last 33 balls, but then the freak incident happened when Kaur’s bat got stuck, and she got out. It was an easy 2nd run, but Kaur was a little slow in her run-up, and the mistake at the end proved costly for the Indian team.

Kaur was furious after the incident, and she threw her bat as well in frustration. Fans and former cricketers drew parallels between Kaur’s run-out and former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s run-out in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semi-final, where the Indian Men’s team had lost to New Zealand.
Harmanpreet Kaur boyfriend name
Harmanpreet Kaur hails from Moga in Punjab, and she is the first-ever women cricketer from her town to play international cricket. The 33-year-old batter is unmarried yet, and there is no news about her being in a relationship with anyone. Even if she is in a relationship, she has successfully managed to keep it away from public domain.
Harmanpreet’s father, Harmandar Singh, used to work as a clerk in a bank. Her mother, Satwinder Singh, meanwhile, is a housewife. She has four siblings as well. She is a Sikh by religion and completed her education at Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar.
Mumbai Indians had recently bought Kaur for INR 1.80 crore in the inaugural Women’s Premier League auction. Although an official announcement is awaited, she will most probably lead the franchise being the captain of the national team. Mumbai is one of the most popular IPL franchises, and it will do a whole lot of good for the brand value of the Indian captain.
