Harmanpreet Kaur has been in blazing form in WPL 2023

After a shocking defeat in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup semi-final against Australia last month, Harmanpreet Kaur is making amends by leading the Mumbai Indians from the front in WPL 2023.

She played a blazing knock of 65 runs off just 30 deliveries, with the help of 14 boundaries, against Gujarat Giants (GG) in their WPL opener. Although she didn't bat in the last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the right-handed batter will hope to keep the momentum going in the upcoming matches.

The MI skipper was extremely delighted with her team's performance against RCB on Monday, March 6. Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, she said:

"We just wanted to back ourselves. Wanted to chase and that was a good thing. Everyone in the team is ready to do whatever comes their way. I am really happy that everyone is enjoying in the team."

Mumbai Indians will hope to continue their winning run when they lock horns with the Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai on Thursday, March 9.
