ICC Women's World Cup: 'Hopefully, Harmanpreet will continue to shine'

Bengaluru, July 21: Harmanpreet Kaur took the cricketing world by storm on Thursday (July 20), battering a 171 not out in just 115 balls against Australia in the ICC Women's World Cup at Derby.

For many, the knock gave a shock treatment effect. However, for Harmandar Bhullar, father of Harmanpreet, it did not come as a surprise.

"She has always been a talented girl. We realised her talent even at a tender age and wanted to support her in dream to pursue a career in sports. It's great to see her fulfilling her dreams," said Harmandar, a district court clerk in Moga, a small town in Punjab.

He hoped Harmanpreet will continue to shine for India. "It was a big win for the team. Now, hopefully, she will play equally good in the final (against England) and help the team win the trophy," he said.
