\u201cI think the best fielder of the series, without a doubt, was Amanjot Kaur,\u201d said head coach Amol Muzumdar in a video shared by the BCCI on their social media accounts on Wednesday, where the all-rounder got the medal and huge cheers from the rest of the Indian team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As India beat Sri Lanka by 15 runs in the final game of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Amanjot produced a composed all\u2011round effort - striking 21 off 18 balls and returning with figures of 1\/17, apart from being sharp with her fielding work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The series win over Sri Lanka capped off a remarkable year for India, during which they won the 2025 Women\u2019s ODI World Cup on home soil, retained the U19 Women\u2019s T20 World Cup trophy, and secured series wins against England on the white-ball tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWishing you a very happy new year. Let's get into 2026 in the same way that we got into 2025. Well done once again. 5-nil is a statement,\u201d added Muzumdar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Once the New Year break is over, the Indian team members will join their respective sides for the 2026 Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL), set to take place from January 9 to February 5 across two venues - DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai and Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWishing you a very happy new year. Let's get into 2026 in the same way that we got into 2025. Well done once again. 5-nil is a statement,\u201d added Muzumdar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While MI enter the tournament as defending champions, RCB are the only other side to have lifted the WPL trophy. Delhi Capitals, to be captained by Jemimah Rodrigues this year, have finished runners-up thrice under Meg Lanning\u2019s leadership, while Gujarat Giants, led by Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, and UP Warriorz are yet to make it to the final at the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
