Having led India to its maiden ICC Women’s ODI World Cup at the DY Patil Stadium just a couple of months back, Harmanpreet Kaur is keen to carry that trophy-winning form into the Women’s Premier League (WPL) which begins in Navi Mumbai on Friday.
The two-time WPL-winning Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper insists her team is aiming for their third WPL crown. “Whenever I go on the field, I tell my team that I want to win the trophy. This new year [2026] starts with the WPL and I have the same energy and excitement going into the tournament. We have the same mindset. We have won two [WPL] trophies in the last three seasons. And we want to play well this season and win the trophy again,” Harmanpreet said during MI’s pre-season press conference at a city hotel on Wednesday.
