Harmanpreet Kaur receives heartfelt tributes from Shafali Verma, IPL franchises

Following a recent evaluation meeting involving cricket board officials in Guwahati, thirty-seven-year-old veteran Harmanpreet Kaur communicated her choice to relinquish the captaincy of the national women's squad across all formats via social media on October 6, 2026, though she intends to keep playing. Her tenure featured major triumphs, including the 2025 World Cup title, an Asian Games gold medal in September 2026, and a record-breaking Test win over England by two hundred seventy runs at Lord's in July 2026.

Teammate Shafali Verma shared heartfelt appreciation online for the guidance she received since her debut, while professional domestic franchises such as Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians posted their own tributes celebrating the outgoing leader's profound influence on the sport.
