They have defeated all the other participating sides, including Gujarat Giants (GG) twice, in their campaign so far. 

Their skipper has been leading from the front with the bat in hand and being excellent with her leadership. The extravagant right-hander has struck 180 runs in just five innings, averaging in excess of 90 with an eye-catching SR of 178.21. 

But leading from the front hasn’t been limited to just the on-field duties with Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been inspirational figure for youngsters through her performances in the WPL and for India over the years.

Holding the mic in her hand, Harmanpreet asked the girl named ‘Meher’ to “come! let’s take a photo” with her. The Indian captain told her when she was her age, she would also not know what women’s cricket is but held the dream to represent India. 

The skipper then hugged the little kid and took a photo with her, giving the young aspirant a moment that she will savour for her lifetime when she grows up and strives to play for the country and a WPL franchise herself.
