Harmanpreet Kaur Earns Wisden Award

India is buzzing with excitement as Harmanpreet Kaur secures yet another victory for women’s cricket. Kaur has become the first Indian woman to be named as one of Wisden’s five Cricketers of the Year, an honour that dates back to 1889. Known for her impressive scoring ability, Kaur led Mumbai Indians to become the champions of the inaugural Women’s Premier League in March. Her recent accolade has sparked congratulations from fans and former cricketers, such as Jhulan Goswami and RP Singh, who have all recognised Kaur’s incredible talent and hard work on the field. Kaur’s achievement is not only a major boost for women’s cricket in India, but also a testament to her determination and skill as a player.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, has accomplished an outstanding feat as she has been named one of the Cricketers of the Year by Wisden. The honor is granted only once in a player’s career and is based on English summer achievements. Kaur’s success owes significantly to her incredible 143 not out from 111 balls in the second one-day international match in Canterbury. It led India to their first ODI series victory on English soil since 1999. Kaur blasted 18 fours and four sixes in her innings, resulting in an imposing total of 333-5—the highest ever against England at home. Her leadership skills are also commendable, having guided her team to a silver medal finish at the Commonwealth Games in 2018.

Indian cricket received some exciting news this week with the announcement of Wisden cricketer awards. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was celebrated for her incredible contributions to Indian women’s cricket, as fans praised her as a “godsent gift.” Meanwhile, Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav was named Wisden T20 Cricketer of the Year, marking his outstanding achievements throughout the year. And last but not least, England captain Ben Stokes was recognized as Wisden’s leading cricketer in the world. It’s always inspiring to see dedicated athletes receive the recognition they deserve, and we can only imagine what fantastic feats these talented players will achieve next.
