Former domestic cricketer and an expert of the game Amol Muzumdar shared his thoughts over the Indian Women’s team’s middle order, after the team qualified for the semi-finals of the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World 2023 for the third time in a row.
“It is a great achievement. If Smriti Mandhana is going through this form, it is important for Harmanpreet Kaur to fire. I feel there is a slight issue in the middle order as I am a little concerned with the way Harmanpreet Kaur is getting out,” the 48-year-old said while speaking to Star Sports.
He express his concerns about the Indian skipper. Harmanpreet Kaur is yet to express herself with the bat, which was mainly what worried Muzumdar.
“She played a wrong shot against the West Indies. She lost her patience against England. I wanted to see how Harmanpreet plays against Sophie Ecclestone and today also she got out in a similar fashion. She got out at the wrong time.”
“I believe Harmanpreet Kaur should take a little time. She needs to improve her shot selection, she has the experience. It doesn’t mean that she will perform as experience and performance are two different things. Along with experience, you also get responsibility on your shoulders,” he added.
