Harmanpreet Kaur seems to be back to form after a rough patch just ahead of India Women’s World Cup campaign. She bounced back in the last ODI against New Zealand and in the warm-up match against South Africa.
Speaking at a virtual press conference, Harmanpreet Kaur said, “I had a lot of ups and downs in my performance. The Hundred gave me a lot of confidence. My innings against NZ was also crucial for me. I have regained my rhythm and it’s important that I keep it going.” She added, “My expectations from myself are more. I know my role in the team and I want to do well but sometimes things are not in your favour. The last two innings I played gave me a lot of confidence. When things are not going well, people talk. I have a good support system and I am grateful for them. It’s important to have people encouraging you when you’re down.”
Her unbeaten 171 in the last WODI World Cup became part of Indian cricket folklore and every time she goes through a rough phase, fans start talking about the same hoping she would make a strong comeback soon. Regarding the same, Kaur said, “I know people talk a lot about the 171 knock. I have set a standard that this is the level I can play maybe that’s why even crucial knocks of 40 or 50 fall short. I don’t judge myself based on numbers. I focus on contributions mattering to the team’s cause and that I play according to the situation.”
While talking about her batting position, Kaur explained, Speaking on her batting position, Harmanpreet Kaur explained, “I am not the right person to answer this. Captain or coach are better placed to answer this as these are their decisions not mine. As far as my batting position goes, I think I am looking at number 5. If any changes come, we will take it according to match situation.”
