India beat Zimbabwe 2–0 in the 3‑match T20I series, with Harmanpreet Kaur smashing an unbeaten 91 off 41 balls to finish a stunning comeback—10 fours and five sixes powered her through a 10‑match half‑century drought.
The innings broke a long spell of batting frustration that had seen Kaur miss a half‑century in every game since stepping down as captain last month. She hit the second ball for four, a moment that gave her the confidence to keep going, and the crowd erupted when she crossed 50, a milestone she hadn't achieved since her 2018 World Cup 103 in New Zealand.
During the innings‑break interview, Kaur burst into tears, thanking former coach WV Raman and batting mentor Himanshu Chawla for keeping her grounded. "It feels great. Just wanted to enjoy myself, and great that I got some time in the middle and really enjoyed myself on the field," she said, her voice raw with emotion.
The knock pushes India to the top of the ICC T20I rankings, and Kaur’s return to form is a welcome boost as the side prepares for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. She looks to carry this confidence into the next stage of international competition.
