India captain Harmanpreet Kaur once again showed why she is admired not just for her cricketing prowess but also for her compassion. Ahead of India’s multi-format tour of Australia, Harmanpreet shared a touching moment with a young fan who appeared visibly distressed. Spotting the boy in discomfort, the skipper walked up to him, gently held his hand and offered a reassuring pat on the back while asking about his well-being. The heartfelt gesture instantly struck a chord with onlookers and soon drew praise on social media.
Currently in Australia, Harmanpreet is preparing to lead India in a challenging series across formats. She will captain the side in the T20I leg of the tour, which gets underway on Sunday, February 15, at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. As India gear up for an intense contest, Harmanpreet’s leadership and warmth continue to inspire fans both on and off the field.
INDIA WORKING HARD
Ahead of the series against Australia, Harmanpreet said India are focused on achieving their goals. She described the Australians as a formidable side and added that India will look to bring their A-game in order to outplay them.
“We are really working hard to achieve all our targets. Winning the (ODI) World Cup was one of them, so we are on the right track. We’re just working really hard, and hopefully we’ll keep bringing our best whenever we play,” Harmanpreet told the reporters.
“We know (Australia) are very strong. We have seen they’ve been playing really good cricket for such a long time. One thing is very clear, whenever you go with a great mindset and a good, positive approach, you can always bring your best,” Harmanpreet added.
Harmanpreet appeared in good touch when India faced the Governor-General’s XI Women at North Sydney Oval on February 13. Batting at No. 4, she scored 26 off 23 balls, including two fours, as India secured a five-wicket victory.
