India women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur marked her landmark 150th T20 International match as captain with a convincing victory over Pakistan and said the team must continue to maintain high standards throughout the tournament.

Harmanpreet achieved the rare milestone during India’s Women’s Asia Cup clash against Pakistan, becoming the first cricketer to captain a side in 150 T20 internationals across men’s and women’s cricket.

Speaking after India’s seven-wicket win, Harmanpreet highlighted the importance of consistency and praised the team’s overall performance, especially the contribution of the bowlers.

“The important thing is to keep the standards high,” Harmanpreet said, stressing that the team cannot afford to relax after a strong start and must continue improving with every match.

India’s bowlers played a key role in restricting Pakistan, putting pressure on their batting lineup and creating the platform for a comfortable chase. The Indian batters then completed the target with confidence to secure another important win in the tournament.

For Harmanpreet, the occasion was not just about the personal milestone but also about the team’s progress under her leadership. She said captaining India for such a long period has been a special journey and credited the players and support staff for their contribution.

The 150-match captaincy milestone adds another achievement to Harmanpreet’s career, which has seen her become one of the most recognised figures in women’s cricket. She has led India through several major tournaments and played a key role in the growth of the women’s game in the country.
