In the traditionally male-dominated world of cricket, there exists a shining star who has defied all odds to carve her name into the annals of the sport's history.
Harmanpreet Kaur is an Indian cricketer who became the captain of the Indian women's cricket team in 2016.
Her favorite food is butter chicken, a rich and creamy dish made with chicken, tomato, and cream.
Before focusing entirely on cricket, Harmanpreet was pursuing a postgraduate degree in Literature.
Her father, Harmandar Singh Bhullar, played cricket at the university level, and her sister Hemjit Kaur also represented the Punjab Under-19 cricket team.
Harmanpreet's family affectionately calls her by the nickname "Harry."
In 2020, she was honoured with the Padma Shri award and the Arjuna Award (among others), for her contributions to Indian cricket.
She considers Virender Sehwag and Adam Gilchrist, former cricketers, her biggest inspirations in the game of cricket.
She is a brand ambassador for several companies, including Adidas, Pepsi, and Colgate.
