Anjum Chopra feels, ‘Opportunity for Harmapreet Kaur to return to form with WPL’
The captain of the women’s cricket team, Harmanpreet Kaur’s white-ball form, has been a big concern for the team management and fans. The 34-year-old didn’t hit a double digit in seven white-ball innings during India’s home series against England and Australia.
The Indian skipper scored 92 runs in her last eight T20I innings and as many in her last seven ODI innings.
With the Women’s T20 World Cup just 7 months away, Kaur would be under some pressure to perform in the upcoming Women’s Premier League in 2024.
Former Indian women’s captain Anjum Chopra, in an exclusive chat, said that there will be ‘expectations’ from the skipper.
Anjum Chopra said, “Harmanpreet Kaur is the skipper of the defending champion Mumbai Indians and Indian team, so expectations will be from her to score runs for her side. And it is an opportunity for her because she didn’t have a good series against England and Australia. So, she would also want to perform in the tournament (WPL) and get back in form.”
Chopra added, “We need to understand what the resources are that we are playing with and what the resources are that are at our disposal. You don’t win by removing someone, and you don't win by appointing someone.”
