WPL 2023: Now in charge of the Indian team, Harmanpreet Kaur hopes to continue her success with MI.
The Mumbai Indians have named Harmanpreet Kaur as their captain for the inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), which is set to commence on March 4.
Mumbai Indians will be hoping that Kaur can have a similar influence when the WPL begins as she did while leading the Indian team to greater heights. The 33-year-old is one of the top cricketers in the world, having scored 3058 runs in 151 T20I games. She was the third-most expensive player for the MI franchise, having been acquired at INR 1.8 crore.
On March 4, Gujarat’s DY Patil Stadium will host the opening match of the tournament between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants. Given the talent in their team, which includes players like Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews, and Amelia Kerr, among others, it would be interesting to see how MI lines up against Gujarat.
Harmanpreet’s appointment as captain makes us ecstatic: Nita Ambani
Nita Ambani, the owner of MI, voiced her opinions upon Kaur’s selection as captain. “We are overjoyed to have Harmanpreet lead the first-ever women’s cricket team for Mumbai Indians. She has steered the Indian Women’s team to some of its most thrilling victories in her capacity as national captain. And I’m confident that with Charlotte and Jhulan’s backing, she’ll motivate our MI women’s cricket team to play their best game, show pride, and further elevate the status of women in sports,” she stated in a statement.
“The start of this new chapter for MI is something we are really anticipating! I am looking forward to watching our girls play the exciting and courageous MI brand of cricket that our supporters love. More success on this thrilling path ahead to Harmanpreet and the entire MI team!” she added.
