‘10 years of your leadership have been fantastic’: Mandhana’s message for Harman

Smriti Mandhana has taken over as the full-time leader of the national women's cricket squad following the departure of her predecessor. Harmanpreet Kaur recently relinquished her duties after a decade at the helm, concluding a tenure highlighted by an ODI world championship and continental gold medals.

Mandhana expressed appreciation for her former skipper's decade of guidance via a social media post, praising the collaborative effort to secure future honors. The incoming captain brings prior leadership experience from domestic franchise circuits, where she previously steered her franchise to multiple league titles.

Having accumulated a massive run tally across formats since debuting in the national setup, she now steps into the role to usher in a fresh chapter for the side.
