Harmanpreet Kaur Shines with the Bat
The Indian women’s cricket team made history by winning the ODI series against England 2-1, and the final match was truly special—not just for the victory, but for a heartwarming gesture by captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
In the series decider, Harmanpreet led from the front. She scored an amazing 102 runs off just 84 balls, hitting 14 boundaries. Her fantastic century put India in a strong position and helped set up a big total of 318 runs.
Kranti Goud Turns the Match with the Ball
Young fast bowler Kranti Goud also stole the show with her bowling. She took 6 wickets for 52 runs, including the crucial wickets of both England openers in her first three overs. Even as England fought back with a big partnership, Kranti kept her cool. She came back later to take more important wickets and made sure England fell short by 13 runs.
A Touching Gesture
Harmanpreet Kaur was named Player of the Match for her brilliant batting. But instead of keeping the award to herself, she called Kranti Goud on stage and shared the trophy with her. She praised Kranti’s incredible bowling and thanked her for making the win possible. The video of this moment, shared by BCCI Women, shows the deep respect and support in the Indian women’s team.
A Team Effort
With their performances, both Harmanpreet and Kranti proved that cricket is a team game. Their partnership helped India win a historic ODI series against England, and Harmanpreet’s gesture showed the true spirit of sportsmanship.
