Harmanpreet Kaur is one of the most influential figures in Indian women’s cricket, a batting allrounder whose explosive strokeplay and astute captaincy have shaped the team’s evolution in the 21st century. The 37-year-old from Punjab made her India debut in 2009 and has since become a figurehead alongside legends like Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj. Her career-defining 171 not out against Australia in the 2017 World Cup semifinal brought women’s cricket into the public consciousness in India, and she was front and centre again in the 2025 World Cup victory, leading the side to its finest hour. As a batter, Harmanpreet pairs fearless ball-striking with tactical maturity, while her off-break bowling adds valuable balance. Her captaincy success extends beyond international cricket, leading Mumbai Indians to two WPL titles in the first three seasons. She also made history as the first Indian cricketer to sign a Big Bash League contract, breaking new ground for women’s cricket in the country.
