For an ordinary cricketer, battling unbearable stomach cramp could well mean retiring to the cooler confines of the dressing room but if it is Harmanpreet Kaur, she would just hit eight sixes in order to avoid running.

Known for her penchant to raise the bar on biggest platforms, the skipper smashed her way to 103 off 51 balls in India's comfortable 34-run win against New Zealand in the opening game of the ICC World T20. "Yesterday, I was having little bit back problem," Kaur said after the match. "In the morning, I was not feeling well. When I came to the ground I was feeling a little low and getting some cramps."
