Revealed: Harmanpreet Kaur’s Favourite Player

It will be quite fair to say that Harmanpreet Kaur single-handedly took India’s women team to the final of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup. The 28-year old played the best knock of her career till date and perhaps the best by an Indian in the World Cup, smashing 171 runs off just 115 balls out of which the last 120 runs came off just 51 balls against defending champions and widely touted favourites Australia. The amazing knock was studded with a staggering 20 fours and 7 well-timed sixes.  As a result of Harmanpreet’s heroic knock, India posted a massive 281 for 4 in the allotted 42 overs in the rain-affected match and won the game by 36 runs to set up the date with hosts England in the final.

And while Harmanpreet gave the impression of the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and other hard-hitters with her whirlwind knock, the Punjab-born batswoman idolises someone else who believes in timing rather than going all out against the bowlers. Well, Harmanpreet idolises India’s men team’s batting lynchpin Ajinkya Rahane.

Harmanpreet, during an interview, had revealed that she admires Rahane for his technique and had even shared an anecdote related to the Mumbai batsman. She had revealed how once Rahane had shoulder-armed  the ball for around two hours after being told by his coach not to play any shot in the nets. This was the incident which made her Rahane’s fan.

Harmanpreet also idolises former swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag. The former India international is known for his stroke-play and the batswoman has most probably developed her batting style on Sehwag’s technique that is watch the ball, hit the ball.  She had once revealed that she used to collect every article about Sehwag and switch off the television after his dismissal.
