Delhi: Till the writing of this report, Harmanpreet Kaur’s women’s cricket team has won the T20 International series in their England Tour and is on par after 2 matches in the ODI series. Seeing this record, the discussion started here that in this season, the women’s team has been more successful than Shubman Gill’s team in England Tour. Despite this better team record, the biggest concern for the women’s team is the bad form of captain Harmanpreet Kaur himself. Two special things in this discussion are that this is the third big phase of bad form in his career and now while there are senior on one side, even at the stage of his career where the ‘peak round’ of the form ends and the discussion of retiring starts.

Harman is one of the top batsmen of India, but how to digest this record that in international cricket, even a score has not been made 50 in his last 19 innings. During this time, 8 Indian women players made 50, but Harman is not named in this list. In such a situation, the third ODI of the series is very important not only for India, for Harman’s career.

Social media is not giving them any concession due to the current long periods of poor form. He is not only accused of not scoring runs, according to today’s cricket, with a slow strike rate, the team’s efforts are also accused of harming. Had she not been a captain, by now, it would have become difficult to make a place in the playing XI with the current bad farm. Now it is not even a matter that there is a famine of a better female cricketer in India because new talent is constantly coming out and Smriti Mandhana is a ‘ready’ candidate for the captain’s responsibility.

Therefore, Harmanpreet Kaur is being appealed to retire on her own. In the current tour, 17 and 7 runs in the first two ODIs, while in the first T20 series, the score was 15, 26, 23 and 1 runs. Did not score 30 runs in any innings. The worst aspect is that while being captain, additional responsibility should be fulfilled, they are losing their precious wickets cheaply. The age of age on him because at this time he has crossed 36 in age and India’s cricketers are not famous for a long life. Only Diana Edulji, Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj have played ODIs for India at an older age.

The biggest mess with the decline in the form is that an atmosphere of an ‘easy wicket’ is created for the other team. This whole tour was in the discussion and it seemed that she will never sit stable and will ever lose her wicket. Till now, the team was facing the team to play a good innings occasionally, but now the matter of youth option is gaining momentum. Harman does not even bowl on him anymore and an all -rounder utility is also ending. In the current season, he did not get an offer to play in any of the three foreign leagues in which there were candidates to play.

Incidentally, on the one hand, there was a discussion of that best effort on the anniversary of his unmatched 171*, and there is a discussion to think on his own cricket future. It has been 2-3 years since an amazing international innings has been played, while for years, no title has been won for India on the basis of its bat. In this period, Smriti has noticed Harman’s run and clearly visible due to continuous runs. It is also visible in the ICC rankings. At this time there are number 16 in the ranking while sometimes there were number 4.

Now the special thing is that two World Cups are very close and in such a situation, Harman’s bad form is concerned for India, but can you make any changes at this time? This is the issue that is a problem for selectors. That is why the common thinking among experts is that despite what happened in the England tour, will give one more chance to Harman. Coach Amol Majumdar’s support is also with Harman and he gives the most importance to his experience. There is an ODI Cup from 30 September and before that only a series has been left on its pitches against Australia. There is no special time left for any captaincy or change in the team. So in fact, this is a special place of career for Harman where he not only save the reputation of one of his top batsmen, make Team India a title contender with his game.
