India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur felt numb after finally tasting success at the Women's Cricket World Cup at her fifth attempt
-
HARMANPREET Kaur has waited a long time for the ultimate success and that’s why lifting the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup trophy was extra special for the inspirational Indian captain.
Harmanpreet was one of five players at the tournament to be appearing at their fifth World Cup, with the India skipper having made her international debut at the 2009 edition of the event in Australia in a 10-wicket victory over Pakistan.
Years of heartbreak followed for Harmanpreet and India —including a narrow loss to England in the 2017 final at Lord’s—so it was no surprise that the veteran was lost for words after the side’s 52-run triumph over a gallant South Africa in Navi Mumbai on Sunday
“I'm just trying to express what I’m feeling. I’m numb, I’m not able to understand,” Harmanpreet said.
