Champions wali baat

Cricket World Cup: Indian men’s Test team skipper Shubman Gill recalled his childhood memories of watching the Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur dominate at the academy, revealing that she used to bat very aggressively and smash bowlers all over the park.

Harmanpreet is set to lead India for the first time in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, starting from September 30 in India and Sri Lanka.

“When I was about 10 or 11 years old, she used to come to the academy where I practiced outside and used to play matches with us. I clearly remember her smashing our bowlers all over the park. As a kid, that was a rare sight for me. She batted very aggressively, which was quite different from that time," Gill said on JioHotstar’s special show ‘Champions Wali Baat: Believe in Blue’.
