Indian Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur makes a comeback after an injury as India looks forward to taking on Australia in a three-match T20 series beginning in Gold Coast on October 7. She missed the day/night Test and the ODI series due to her injury.
Her return to the side advances India’s chances of winning the series as she adds strength to India’s batting order that the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Shefali Verma are a part of. Apart from them, Richa Ghosh and Yastka Bhatia also add value to the team.
This comeback is also seen as a perfect opportunity for Harmanpreet to regain her lost touch in the shorter formats before the ODI world cup scheduled next year, for she could not continue playing because of her injuries that set her back. There is hardly any doubt about her match-winning capabilities in shorter formats and she must be looking forward to making most of it.
Earlier, India played 3 ODIs and lost the series by 2-1. They also played a day/night test that resulted in a draw. Smriti Mandhana made an impressive 127 off 216 balls, while Deepti Sharma (66) and Shefali Verma (52) also played crucial knocks in first and second innings respectively.
