Fresh from receiving the prestigious Padma Shri in New Delhi on Monday for leading India to their maiden Women\u2019s ODI World Cup title last year, the India skipper struck a confident tone ahead of the team\u2019s T20I series opener against England in Chelmsford.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The three-match series serves as the buildup to the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in England, where Harmanpreet will feature in her 10th edition of the tournament and captain India for a fifth straight time. Yet, one piece remains missing from her decorated career, a T20 World Cup title.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>At 37, Harmanpreet knows the stakes. And with the final set to be played at Lord\u2019s, she admitted the prospect of lifting the trophy at the iconic venue would be the ultimate full-circle moment. <!-- -->\u201cIt would be a dream come true,\u201d she said. \u201cFor any cricketer who debuted in England and then gets to win a World Cup here, you can\u2019t ask for anything more.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Her sentiments carry depth given where it all began for the iconic batter.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Harmanpreet made her T20I debut in England during the 2009 World Cup, a modest start that saw her score just eight runs as India slumped to a heavy 10-wicket defeat against the hosts at Taunton after limping to 112-8. Seventeen years on, both she and Indian women\u2019s cricket have undergone a remarkable transformation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The 2025 ODI World Cup triumph has changed the team\u2019s mindset, she believes. \u201cThat win gave us belief. We now know how to handle pressure and close out big games. That confidence will definitely help us in the T20 World Cup,\u201d Harmanpreet said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>India begin their campaign on June 14 against Pakistan in Birmingham. The ongoing England series, Harmanpreet stressed, will be crucial in fine-tuning combinations and adapting to conditions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/harmanpreet-kaur-eyes-t20-world-cup-glory-confident-indian-team-ready-after-odi-triumph\/articleshow\/131362360.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Dream come true&#8221;: Harmanpreet Kaur on potential Lord&#8217;s T20 World Cup glory (photo\/ANI) These are heady days for Harmanpreet Kaur and she wants the momentum to last.
