'Harmanpreet Probably Is In The Best Space At This Point In Time', Feels Anjum Chopra
Incidentally, this will be Harmanpreet’s first time leading India in a 50-over World Cup, something that could shape both her legacy and the team’s pursuit of winning their maiden title. The pressure of captaining India in a marquee home event and leaving a huge imprint is something MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma did with aplomb in the 2011 and 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup editions, respectively.
Now, similar expectations rest on Harmanpreet’s shoulders as she looks to guide India to glory on home soil. In an exclusive wide-ranging conversation with IANS, former India captain Anjum Chopra shares her insights on Harmanpreet, the Indian top-order dynamics, and the return of fast-bowling spearhead Renuka Singh Thakur.
