Harmanpreet recalled how the atmosphere in the dressing room changed following India\u2019s defeat to England, which came after successive losses and left the team staring at an early exit from the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter the England match, I think Amol sir was the only one who spoke, and he was very straightforward. Everybody took it in the right spirit because we all knew there was nothing wrong in what he was saying. That was the first time I saw his volume go a little high because he is usually a very soft-spoken person. I remember him saying, \u2018Go and buy a mirror and see what you\u2019re doing and what you need to do at that stage'\" Harmanpreet said on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After starting off with two wins, India had endured a difficult phase in the middle of their Women\u2019s World Cup 2025 campaign with three losses on the trot, including the defeat against England that pushed them to the brink. However, the team responded strongly under pressure, registering a crucial win over New Zealand to stay alive in the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The momentum shift continued in the knockout stages as India stunned Australia in the semifinal before defeating South Africa in the final to clinch the Women\u2019s World Cup title in memorable fashion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Harmanpreet also spoke about consciously staying away from social media during major tournaments, saying that avoiding outside noise helps her remain mentally fresh and focused on the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don\u2019t use social media much because I think it can drain you mentally. So, I don\u2019t read stuff, especially during tournaments, whether I\u2019m doing well or not,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
