Harmanpreet Kaur SAID THIS After India’s Agonizing Defeat At CWG

Indian cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur spoke about the team’s loss against Australia with the Women in Blue suffering from a big loss in the finals of a major tournament yet again. The Indian women’s cricket team featured in the final of the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022. They took on Australia in the quench for glory but fell short of just 9 runs from wearing the gold-colored medal around their necks and had to settle for the silver this time around.

The Indian white ball team captain has been a seasoned campaigner in the women’s team for quite some time.  Harmanpreet Kaur has suffered 3 major setbacks in her playing career with India losing the 2017 World Cup finals loss to England while suffering for the same result during the 2020 World Cup finals against Australia. The Women in Blue went through the same heartbreak in the recently concluded finals of the Commonwealth Games 2022 against Australia.
