Don't Let Expectations Distract From Process: Harmanpreet's Mantra For Women's T20 WC
T20 World Cup: India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has a knack for keeping things simple, even as the noise around the upcoming Womens T20 World Cup has started to take centrestage. The chatter about India being in the group of death, batting frailties or the scars of the group stage exit in the 2024 Womens T20 World Cup fades quickly when she speaks with the utmost clarity. Hardened by previous setbacks at global events, India finally broke the trophy drought with the ODI World Cup won at home in 2025. Now, India seeks to clinch its first Womens T20 World Cup title in England and Wales, expectations from all quarters are on a high when Harmanpreet & Co. take the field on June 14 against Pakistan in Birmingham. But Harmanpreet insists that one thing has still not changed - of not letting expectations distracting one from their usual process to achieve glory. With success naturally comes more expectations, but I see that as a positive sign for women's cricket. It shows that people are emotionally invested in the team and are following our journey closely. Personally, I try not to think too much about outside pressure. My focus remains on preparation, contributing to the team, and staying present in the moment. Over the years, I have realised that expectations will always exist at this level, and the key is to not let them distract you from your process. It is also very encouraging to see more fans engaging with women's cricket now. Growing support motivates all of us to keep improving and performing consistently, recalls Harmanpreet in an exclusive conversation with IANS ahead of the T20 World Cup, facilitated by CREX. Even though India suffered series losses in South Africa in the run-up to the 12-team mega event, the extensive hardwork done at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru was, by Harmanpreet's account, as thorough a preparation as she has been part of - not just in terms of skill work, but also in terms of role clarity and mental readiness. The preparatory camp at the Centre of Excellence was very structured and focused on multiple aspects of readiness for the T20 World Cup. Along with skill-based training, there was strong emphasis on fitness, match simulations, game awareness, and handling pressure situations. We also worked a lot on role clarity within the team, which is extremely important in T20 cricket because situations change very quickly. The support staff ensured that preparation was not just physical, but also mental and tactical. Camps like these help build rhythm and confidence as a group before a major tournament, and they also allow younger players to spend more time with experienced players in a competitive environment, added Harmanpreet. Apart from keeping an eye on ensuring the 2026 T20 World Cup campaign tells a different story for India as compared to earlier years, the onlookers will be keen to cast a view on Harmanpreets own batting. In South Africa earlier this year, she showed a willingness to attack earlier in the innings while hitting 66 in Johannesburg. A more aggressive version of Harmanpreet has been shaped by a sharper intent that head coach Amol Muzumdar later highlighted. Its also evident from the numbers too - in T20Is this year, Harmanpreet has scored at a strike rate of 132.3 - her best in any calendar year by a distance. Asked about her recent surge in aggression with the bat in the shortest format, Harmanpreet traces it to one word process. Modern T20 cricket is constantly evolving, and as players, we also need to evolve with the demands of the game. The idea behind becoming more aggressive was not about changing my natural game completely, but about being more proactive and taking calculated risks earlier when the situation allows. A lot of discussions with the coaches, including Amol sir, helped in identifying areas where I could put more pressure on bowlers and improve scoring options. We worked specifically on intent, shot selection, and adapting quicker to match situations. Implementing it was more about mindset and clarity. Once you trust your preparation and decision-making, you can play with more freedom and confidence, she added. Aside from batting and hitting deliveries from the get go, Harmanpreets love for fielding still remains high, for it is treated not as a secondary skill, but as part of the same commitment she brings to batting and captaincy. Cast your mind back to November 2, 2025 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, when South Africas Nadine de Klerk backed away to carve an inside out against a low full toss outside off stump from Deepti Sharma. But Nadine only managed to slice the ball high towards extra cover, where Harmanpreet turned swiftly, ran back and tracked the ball over her shoulder before completing a clean catch and confirmed Indias long awaited ODI World Cup victory. Absolutely - fielding is something I genuinely enjoy because it allows you to stay constantly involved in the game and contribute to the team in different ways. A good catch, a sharp run-out, or saving crucial runs can change the momentum of a match just as much as an important innings. I have always believed that energy on the field reflects the attitude of the team. Diving, chasing balls, and putting in that extra effort also motivates teammates and lifts the overall intensity on the field. Batting will always be special to me, but fielding gives a different kind of satisfaction because it is completely about awareness, commitment, and reacting in the moment. Quizzed on whether she enjoys the thrill of taking a good catch or the satisfaction of a dive leading to a good run-out, Harmanpreet refuses to choose between the two. I think it is a combination of both. As a fielder, you always have the opportunity to make an impact on the game, whether it is through taking a catch, saving crucial runs, or creating a run-out opportunity. There is a special thrill in taking a difficult catch, but at the same time, putting in a dive to stop a boundary or contributing to a run-out can be equally satisfying because it helps the team in an important moment. What I enjoy most about fielding is the energy and involvement it brings. You are constantly alert, reading the game, and looking for opportunities to make a difference. Good fielding can shift momentum just as much as a good innings or a crucial wicket, and being able to contribute in that way is something I really enjoy. The same logic runs through how Harmanpreet thinks about something beyond her own performance: - the visibility of women's cricket itself and the chatter amongst fans for the game on a daily basis, which is visible through her partnership with CREX and its unique Social feature which allows fans to have discussions and analysis in real time, especially when the matches are on. Today, audiences want instant updates, live engagement, statistics, and match conversations in one place, and digital platforms help bridge that gap effectively. For womens cricket, consistent visibility is extremely important. The more regularly fans can follow matches, player performances, and a tournaments moments, the stronger the connection with the sport becomes. For womens cricket, this kind of engagement is very valuable because it helps build familiarity and long-term fan loyalty beyond just headline moments. Fan conversations are extremely important because they create a sense of community around the sport. When people actively discuss matches, players, performances, and key moments in real time, it increases emotional investment and visibility for the game. For womens cricket, these conversations help normalise the sport within mainstream cricket culture rather than treating it separately. The more people talk about the sport regularly, the stronger and more connected the fan ecosystem becomes, she added. For womens cricket, this kind of engagement is very valuable because it helps build familiarity and long-term fan loyalty beyond just headline moments. Fan conversations are extremely important because they create a sense of community around the sport. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Harmanpreet has faced harder situations with less certainty and found her way through all of it. Whether that same quiet conviction of staying in the present, to not let lofty expectations swallow the team, and trusting the process above all else carries India to the one white-ball trophy that still eludes them, only these next few weeks will tell. A thrilling English summer awaits Harmanpreet and she looks ready to face it headon. Article Source: IANS

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Young pacer Mangesh Yadav may not have featured regularly in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's playing XI, but his time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise has provided him with invaluable lessons from some of the biggest names in world cricket. Having shared the dressing room with stalwarts such as Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mangesh believes the transition from domestic cricket and tournaments like the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) to the IPL is defined by the sheer amount of experience available around a young player. Reflecting on the difference between domestic cricket and the IPL environment, Mangesh, RCBs Rs. 5.2 crore buy, said the opportunity to observe and learn from world-class players every day was unlike anything he had experienced before. In domestic cricket, I feel there are some senior players and some youngsters like me who, like in MPL, perform well, learn a little from there, and then play alongside the seniors. There, Rajat was also captaining, so I learnt a little from him. So, there, you learn, and whatever you get, you learn. But when you go from domestic to IPL, you share the dressing room with Virat Kohli, Virat Bhaiya, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bhuvi Bhaiya, and all the other players, Mangesh told IANS in an exclusive interaction. The youngster said that interacting with players who have spent years at the highest level helped accelerate his understanding of the game. So, it's good because they have so much experience. Bhuvi bhaiya (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) has at least 200 matches of experience in T20. They have 200 IPL matches. Hoff (Hazlewood) has a lot of experience. So, you get to learn from them daily. Virat Bhaiya also has a lot of experience, he said. While he did not get on-field opportunities, Mangesh said that even observing games closely from the sidelines offered important lessons about team culture and a winning mentality. I didn't get a chance to play in the field. But when we used to go in as waterboys and talk about matches, it felt very intact that you don't want to leave the match in the middle, and you want to play as a team. Not a single moment felt like we had won. Until the match is won, you want to play as a team. So, that felt really good. So, I got to learn a lot in this IPL, Mangesh stated. Among the many memories from the season, Mangesh highlighted RCB's title-winning moment as one he will never forget. There are a lot of moments. The first one is the trophy. When we won the trophy, it was a next-level feeling. Before that, it felt normal to win a match, even the final. But when we won the trophy, it felt very different. It felt special, he said. Beyond the celebrations, he pointed to the willingness of senior players to guide younger teammates as one of the defining aspects of the dressing room. The second thing is that, in every moment, I learned from a player. If there was a doubt, I asked Josh Hazlewood what we could do in that situation. He explained it to me with a lot of love, saying we could do this. It was mind-blowing for me because I wasn't even thinking about it. Then he explained it to me, and I thought yes, we could do this too, he said. Mangesh said similar interactions with Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped him solve technical and tactical issues quickly. The same thing happened with Bhuvi Bhaiya. I was lagging in a few things. I asked him a few things, and he told me that if I did this, it would be good. So it got better immediately. Then I felt that it was very good. I learned a lot. The things that were troubling me, they had so much experience. So they had a solution. Whatever happened, I would go and ask immediately. That, Bhuvi Bhaiya, this is happening. And this is happening. So he would give me a solution immediately, Mangesh said of Bhuvneshwar. Despite spending much of the season outside the playing XI, Mangesh said the coaching staff constantly reminded him to remain match-ready. I was always told that you have to be prepared. DK sir and Andy sir told me that you have to be prepared. You can play a match anytime. If anyone gets injured, you are going to play. So, they told me that you can play anytime. The message shaped his preparation throughout the tournament. So, I had to be prepared for every match. So, I used to go to every practice session in the same way. I used to practise. Now, what happened is not in our hands. And, a very good team combination was formed. So, the team kept going in the same way, he stated. For Mangesh, the team's larger objective remained more important than individual opportunities. And, we all have the same motive. The motive for our going to the IPL is to win the trophy. So, that was the main motive. And I was prepared that, whenever I got a chance, as the coach had told me, I could play whenever something happened. So, I was prepared in the same way. Having played under Rajat Patidar at both RCB and MPL, where he represents JK sports-owned Gwalior Cheetahs, Mangesh reserved special praise for the captain's man-management skills and calm demeanour. Some people have still said this on social media. But what I would like to say is that it is completely pressure-free to play under him, he noted. According to Mangesh, Patidar's greatest strength lies in trusting players and backing their instincts. He gives plans. First, he asks for our plan. If you give another plan to a bowler, he will not be able to do it at all, because he also has a plan. So, it happened to me in the Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well. I got a little run on my plan. So, he gave his plan, saying, You can do this now. And I followed his plan and got a wicket there. The approach, he said, continued in the MPL as well. Like, I played in the last MPL match. So, he asked me for my plan, and I did well on it. So, he doesn't have any such attitude, and neither is he egoistic, saying I am the captain. He doesn't look like that at all. Mangesh also highlighted Patidar's composure during difficult phases of a game. And the second thing is that when the bowler gets hit, the captain shouts a lot. But he is not like that at all. He is completely calm. If he gets hit on that plan, he gives another plan. And if you execute it, he says nothing at all. Like, if you execute it well, it's fine. If you did it wrong, he himself says that it was wrong. For a fast bowler operating under pressure, such support can make a significant difference. So, that is one thing. He doesn't give any expression at all. Because as a bowler, I feel that if I bowl and get a six, my first look goes to my captain to see what he has to say. And he is not like that at all. He doesn't get angry at all. So, it feels very motivating that, yes, something like this is not happening. Asked about the biggest lesson from being part of a title-winning dressing room, Mangesh pointed to one quality above all else: discipline. The biggest learning was that everyone was very disciplined about their work. Everyone is having fun, but they know that when we go to the ground, we have to react, be aggressive, and be on our game. It is very chill outside. The best thing was the discipline of all the players. He observed that elite players stick to routines regardless of circumstances. Everyone is doing their thing daily. It is not like they are doing something different every day. So the discipline I saw is why they are completely different. Using Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar as examples, Mangesh explained how attention to small details separates top professionals from the rest. Like, Josh Hazlewood comes, and he does his warm-up first. Then he goes and bowls. It is not like he wont warm up if hes feeling good on a particular day. Same with Bhuvi. He does everything first, then comes to the ground. And I think there is no such thing as a big thing. Because small things make it big. We always take our warm-up lightly. Like, I will bowl or whatever. But that is the most important role for a player. That you warm up well. So I liked that, he said. The discussion on discipline inevitably led to Virat, as Mangesh agreed, Kohli has given a different definition to discipline, because everyone knows about his discipline and how seriously he takes everything. Looking ahead, Mangesh is focused on becoming a fully professional after securing an IPL contract. I have planned many strategies for how I want to improve. And I am still playing MPL, so I don't have that much time. But I am talking to my mentor. This time, he is the team's trainer, so I am playing with him. I have done a gym session with him, he said. He added that better resources and structured planning have strengthened his confidence. So I am working on those things gradually, and I have planned everything. Because RCB has given me so much money. So I have to become a pro. And I am absolutely ready for that. And I am feeling good. Now, the things I want, the things that were lacking, are now easily available. So this time, I absolutely feel I will reach the next level. Be it fitness or bodybuilding, Mangesh stated. As for his performances in the ongoing MPL, where his economy rate has been on the higher side in the opening matches, Mangesh remains unconcerned and believes it is only a matter of time before rhythm returns. I feel that you can say every day is not the same in cricket. Sometimes, you get hit. Sometimes, you don't. But in the last two games, I have felt that it is just that runs are being conceded. I am doing well. Some things are happening here and there, Mangesh expressed. As for his performances in the ongoing MPL, where his economy rate has been on the higher side in the opening matches, Mangesh remains unconcerned and believes it is only a matter of time before rhythm returns.

Got High Hopes From Sooryavanshi, I Think He Just Has Picked Himself Really, Says Agarkar
Secretary Devajit Saikia: India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar said he had high hopes for teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after giving him a maiden T20I call-up to tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games, adding the youngster had picked himself into the squad with his explosive IPL 2026 performances. Sooryavanshi had a stellar IPL 2026 for the Rajasthan Royals and was the leading run-getter in the competition with 776 runs, including a hundred and five half-centuries. He also bagged the most valuable player and emerging player of the competition awards in the competition. What do you say, we've seen what he can do. You saw, even towards those playoffs, almost singlehandedly carried the Rajasthan Royals. For a young kid, I don't need to talk about how well he's batting or how well he's playing. It's not just this season. He's obviously made a great start last season. To back it up for a young kid in a competition that's as competitive and has a highpressure environment, and how explosive he can be, and a gamechanger that he can be. So we've, like everyone else that's watched cricket, or at least watched T20 cricket in India, we've got high hopes of him, and I think he just has picked himself really, said Agarkar in the press conference at the BCCI HQ on Saturday. Sooryavanshis selection comes after he landed in Sri Lanka as a member of the India A team for the 50-over triseries starting on June 9 in Dambulla. Secretary Devajit Saikia said the priority would be to send Sooryavanshi to Ireland and England, while adding that selectors and technical staff are monitoring his every step to ensure his future is handled with care. But we can all see what kind of talent he has, and we're hopeful that if and when he gets an opportunity to actually play for the country, he shows the same sort of ability that he's shown. Obviously, there will be tougher challenges when you play for your country, but he's shown great promise and temperament. So we're all very hopeful, like everyone is. I think he's picked himself through his performances. You always deliberate, because, like the question before, there's so much talent around, especially when it comes to T20 cricket at this point, but it tells you a lot that his performances have made us pick him, and we're very hopeful. With regards to red ball, I mean, he's a kid, and let him just be as he's just starting his journey. I'm sure when the season starts, the domestic season starts, and he plays for his team, plays a little bit of red ball cricket, we'll wait and observe at this point, why jump the gun? I think we're very excited with what he's doing in T20 cricket. Hopefully, we as selectors or the BCCI and the coaching staff can help him push in the right direction. So at this point, we're just focused on, you know, what he can bring to the T20 team, and we'll take one step at a time, elaborated Agarkar. On Rajat Patidar missing out on selection despite being in stellar form to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru defend their IPL title, Agarkar said, You discuss a host of players when you sit there. I don't think you just sit and put 15 names down. So that's always the case. We think all these 15 players are deserving. I think there are a lot of good players in India. We've seen over the last couple of months in the IPL, or if you follow domestic cricket through the season, there are plenty of guys who are you'd think they're good enough to walk into the team. But the guys who are playing are doing as well as we just won a World Cup a couple of months back. So no, I think we picked a really good one. 16 for the Ireland and England series and 15 for the Asian Games. There'll always be players missing out, but like I said, you can only pick 15, and we're very happy with this one. On Jasprit Bumrahs inclusion for the Asian Games, he said, We know how important he is. Plus the WTC cycle, we've still got a chance to enter the final. If he plays well enough over these next nine Tests, this one is not part of WTC, the Afghanistan one. But if you can have Jasprit play the majority of those games and still keep him fit and healthy, it's always the thing. I mean, there's a lot of T20 cricket. You can always bring him back. Asian Games he will be there. So, the main aim is to try and keep him fit for the Tests and the one-dayers. I don't know whether worry is the right word, but we obviously need to improve our (Test) performances. I think England was good and the South African series probably didn't go to plan, but we still have a chance if we play well enough. We know we've got the players, but we've got to play better. On Hardik Pandya not named in T20I squads, Agarkar said, With regards to Hardik, firstly, he's part of the oneday squad right now against Afghanistan. Obviously, if we can get him playing well and keep him fit for oneday cricket, I don't think he's played oneday cricket for a while. That is, at this point, the main objective. We can always bring him back. It also gives us an opportunity to give someone like Nitish Reddy a few opportunities with T20 cricket. So there will be a little bit of rest and rotation with regard to T20. But the main objective is to see if he can start playing well and stay healthy with 50over cricket with the World Cup in, what, a year and a half. He gives us a lot of balance. The World Cup is in South Africa. If he's bowling well enough, I mean, we'll assess how we go in the next few months. That's primarily the reason at this point. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Then to back it up in the IPL against really good quality batters - when you play a lot of games in the IPL, it's always going to be up and down, particularly when most teams get 200 for fun these days. So, he can bowl under pressure, which is the first thing that you try and see if a guy can do that day in, day out, and has the skill set, obviously can move the ball, bowls towards the end of the innings. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Not first time, we've seen him before, but he bowled well this season, and that caught our eye, and so he was always there in our planning. This Afghanistan series coming up gives us an opportunity to see what he can do in 50over cricket, but in T20, we've all seen that. He's got the skill set. So, again, like the guys that we picked, they're always hopeful. Article Source: IANS
