As she spoke, her voice wavered. She wiped her tears, and before the interview could continue, she was seen throwing the mic towards the end, walking away as she could not control her emotions.

The knock came just days after she stepped down as India’s captain across all formats, handing over to Smriti Mandhana. It was also her first half-century in 10 matches, following a quiet run in the Asia Cup and limited time at the crease during the Asian Games.

Harmanpreet also thanked her batting coach Himanshu, saying the innings was “all him” after the work they put in during net sessions.

“After the two games, I got some time in the nets. I really want to thank Himanshu bhaiya, who’s been working really hard on me and today’s batting all about him,” she said.

Reflecting on the innings post-match, she said the first boundary gave her the confidence to keep going. “The first ball when I hit for a four, that time I realised it’s a good pitch and bat was coming nicely to the ball and I think I got a lot of confidence from that shot and then I just thought, let me just keep going and let’s see how it goes.”
