Harmanpreet Kaur is the heartbeat of Indian women’s cricket, known for her fearless batting and calm leadership. As India’s all-format captain and Mumbai Indians’ leader, she continues to set benchmarks, inspiring teammates and fans with every performance.
Representing Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League, Harmanpreet Kaur delivered a powerful statement on Friday, January 30, during MI’s final league match of the WPL 2026 against Gujarat Giants. Chasing 168 at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, she produced a fighting knock of 82 runs from 48 balls, smashing eight fours and four sixes. Despite her effort, the two-time champions fell short, losing the match by 11 runs.
While the defeat meant Mumbai Indians could not seal their playoff spot through this game, Harmanpreet Kaur still walked away with a historic achievement. Her 82-run innings took her past a major milestone, making her the first and only player in the Women’s Premier League to score 500 runs against a single team. She now has 504 runs against Gujarat Giants, achieved across nine matches, including six half-centuries against Ashleigh Gardner-led side.
In the overall list of batters with the most runs against one WPL team, Harmanpreet Kaur stands clear at the top, ahead of her teammate Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has piled up 378 runs against UP Warriorz. Harmanpreet has also dominated Delhi Capitals, scoring 377 runs in 10 matches, the highest by any batter against that franchise.
Across her WPL career with Mumbai Indians, Harmanpreet Kaur has accumulated 1,193 runs in 35 matches, with only Nat Sciver-Brunt and Meg Lanning ahead of her in the all-time run charts. In the WPL 2026, she is also leading the Orange Cap race with 342 runs in eight matches, including three unbeaten fifties.
Even after the Vadodara loss, Mumbai Indians remain in contention for a playoff spot, with Harmanpreet Kaur’s form giving them hope at the business end of the season.
