Harmanpreet reached the landmark following India\u2019s dominant eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. With this victory, she now has 77 wins from 130 matches as captain in the format, moving past Lanning\u2019s tally of 76 wins from 100 games at the helm of Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat is something I never thought would happen. As a captain, you always aim to win World Cups or win series, but becoming the most successful T20 captain- that is something which I never thought, but I\u2019m very grateful, and I would like to give all credit to my team. They\u2019ve been outstanding. It\u2019s because of them that we keep winning. It\u2019s just a beginning for all of us. I know the next big thing is coming up (T20 World Cup), and hopefully, we\u2019ll continue the same winning momentum and keep winning for Team India,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The record adds another highlight to a standout year for the Indian captain. Earlier this year, in November, she led India to their maiden Women\u2019s ODI World Cup title, guiding the team to a memorable 52-run triumph over South Africa in the final at the Dr. D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the latest win against Sri Lanka, Harmanpreet expressed satisfaction with the team\u2019s all-round performance, noting that the confidence gained from such displays would be valuable as the Indian side builds toward the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup scheduled for June 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was a great series for all of us. That's what we discussed when we got together after the World Cup: we have to raise our standard. Be a little more aggressive in T20, we all know the T20 World Cup is coming up, this is the right time to push ourselves, so really happy with the overall performance,\u201d said Harmanpreet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
