ICC Women’s World T20 2018: 5 key players for India

#3 Harmanpreet Kaur

Kaur is a vital cog in the middle-order

Harmanpreet Kaur will be leading the side in this year’s edition and hoping to bring glory for the country. She has played 88 T20I matches (77 innings) and scored 1703 runs. Her ability to hit big sixes make her a dangerous batter to bowl to. As a part-time bowler, she is also incredibly effective and provides an all-round threat to the opposition as is evident from her 24 wickets at an economy of just 6.19.

In 2018, Kaur has played 20 matches ( 12 innings) and picked up 9 wickets at an economy of 7.15. She is also the second leading run-getter with 480 runs (17 innings) with two half-centuries.

If the wickets fall early, the Indian team will be relying on her to play a captain's knock and help the side win. She will also be key as both a part-time spinner and as a captain.
