At the moment, Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of India, is struggling at the bat. The 34-year-old finished the three-match ODI series against Australia with only 17 runs, and in the shorter format, she could only muster nine. The Women in Blue lost 3-0 in the ODI series and 2-1 in the T20Is due to a decline in their play. Even so, head coach Amol Mazumdar is not very worried about Harmanpreet’s performance. He noted that every cricket player experiences a similar phase in Twenty20 international cricket and that the captain isn’t playing poorly in any other format. In the future, the 49-year-old anticipates the batter, who was born in Punjab, to bounce back and deliver several game-winning hits.
“I wouldn’t argue across forms that Harmanpreet Kaur is out of style. She scored 49 and 44 not out (against England) in Test matches. Every cricketer experiences that during T20Is. For India, she has been a fantastic player. I’m sure you’ll witness some impressive performances (from her) soon,” Mazumdar reportedly stated, according to Glamsham.
We must give our fielding and fitness serious attention. Amol Mazumdar
Mazumdar said that fielding and conditioning are the team’s main areas of improvement after reviewing their performance in the most recent series against Australia and England. Although he valued the team members’ contributions, he anticipates that in the future, everyone will work even harder.
We truly need to concentrate on improving our fielding and conditioning when playing white-ball cricket. And perhaps I will have an opportunity to work on it in the upcoming months. We have decided to lift the bar in these specific areas as a group. Let’s reword “areas to look into” to “fielding, fitness, and DRS,” he suggested.
“Well done, girls. This has been a challenging season. We had back-to-back games in two distinct forms against Australia and England. Mazumdar stated, “I am really delighted with the work that’s been put in during the season. There haven’t been many injuries—only Shubha Satheesh happened, and that too on the day of the game—and it was a finger injury.
