Born on March 8, 1989 – additionally International Women's Day. Harmanpreet is a batting allrounder who displayed her forceful style of play on that of her godlike object Virender Sehwag. In any case, it was viewing the India men's test Vice-Captain Ajinkya Rahane's restriction at a nets session in 2016 that showed her the estimation of tolerance.

“Earlier, some of my father’s friend used to come to see me off at the airport and say, ‘Why do you need to attempt big hits when you know girl’s do not have the power to clear the rope? Take only singles and doubles, no?’ Harmanpreet says “I used to keep quiet. After watching last year’s World Cup, they started believing may be my team-mates and I can clear the rope” said Harman in an interview.

She made her debut at the age of 20 against arch Pakistan Women's in 2009 Women's World Cup played at Bradman Oval, Bowral. In June 2009, she made her Twenty20 International introduction in 2009 T20 World Cup against England at Country Ground, Taunton. She was named as India Women's skipper for the 2012 Asia Cup.

Kaur now holds the record for enrolling the most noteworthy ever individual score in a knockout phase of a Women's World Cup coordinate (171*) outperforming the past record of 107* by Karel Rotton. India's exciting last against England at the ICC Women's World Cup a year ago has activated huge enthusiasm for the Nation. An energizing and well-secured World Cup took the game to the following dimension.

The human body was not intended to be this wonderful but rather Harmanpreet Kaur utilized all the outrage and the greatness to dispatch the bowlers everywhere throughout the field. She has taken women's cricket to the future and there is no thinking back at this point.

“People will perhaps remember me for 171, for scores bigger and smaller. Innings from the past or the future. The only thing I’ve always wanted is the winning shot to come off my bat. Whether it’s a single or a six, it doesn’t matter to me – my dream is to be the one who hits the winning runs for my team.” – Harmanpreet Kaur.
