#4 Harmanpreet Kaur reckons handling pressure will be key

India's T20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur believed that the team needed to play with more freedom.

Indian women's T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur feels that the team handling high-pressure situations will have the best chance to go all the way in the upcoming Women's T20 WC in Australia.

Speaking to the reporters, Kaur reminded that T20s were all about handling intense pressure situations better and the Indian team were all prepared for the challenges up ahead. However, she also stated that they were looking to enjoy as well and not get bogged down by the pressures of a WC game.

"We were quite close in the last two World Cups, the only thing is we have to keep in mind how to handle pressure in the tournaments, last two World Cups we lacked in handling pressure."

"This time we want to enjoy rather than taking more pressure on ourselves, thinking that it is a big tournament. We have to avoid thinking like that and focus on giving our best."
