Harmanpreet Kaur set for future full of trophies after inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) title

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL), India and Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur had been very eloquent about her relation with Mumbai.

"I have a special relationship with this city. My first ever job was in Mumbai and I scored my first century in Mumbai. Similarly, I want to win the first WPL title with them," she had said in a pre-season press conference.

Mumbai was the city where Harmanpreet had announced herself on the ODI stage when she made an unbeaten 107 off 109 balls in 2013 Women's Cricket World Cup match against England at the Brabourne Stadium, though India fell 32 runs short.

Exactly 10 years later, at the same venue, on March 26, Harmanpreet had a wide smile on her face and pride in as she settled in the post-final press conference with a glittering WPL trophy.

After suffering heartbreaks in the 2017 ODI World Cup final, the 2020 T20 World Cup final, the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medal game, Harmanpreet finally had her hands on the trophy which eluded her for so long.

"It feels like a dream... Today I know what it feels like to win (a trophy)," she said at the start. It was indeed a new experience for Harmanpreet, addressing the press not as the second-best captain, but as the winning captain with a big trophy. IANS
