After losing the Women’s Twenty 20 World Cup Semi Final against Australia, Indian Women’s Cricket Captain Harmanpreet Kaur reacted to the comment of commentor Nasser Hussain.
Notably, after Team India lost against Australia by five runs, former England Cricket Captain Nasser Hussain called out the defeat to be due to silly school girl error of team India. He termed Harmanpreet’s ginger movement in the last half of the run as a ‘school girl error’ in the commentary.
Notably, Harmanpreet Kaur’s run out was the single biggest event that completely turned the Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final between India and Australia on its head. From being in a comfortable position of needing 41 runs off 33 balls, India faced difficulty and lost by five runs. After reaching her half century with a boundary, Harmanpreet Kaur swept Georgia Wareham between square leg and deep mid wicket. Beth Mooney did exceptionally well to stop the boundary.
When reporters asked about the comment and school girl comment, Ms. Harmanpreet Kaur said, “He said that? Yes. Okay. I don’t know. That is a way of thinking. I don’t know. But sometimes it happens. I have seen many times in cricket when batters are taking a single like that and sometimes the bat is stuck there. But obviously, I will take it as we were unlucky today. Maybe something still, we have to improve to go to the finals because we definitely didn’t field badly. We didn’t bowl well in patches. Sometimes we didn’t bat well. If you want to win any game, we have to do well in all the departments. Then only you have more chances to go to the semis, to the finals. I think it was unlucky but I don’t think it was a mistake by a schoolgirl because we are mature enough. We are playing international cricket and whatever he said, that’s his way of thinking. But I don’t think it was like that.”
