Harmanpreet Kaur should be out of Team India, these are 5 big reasons.

Team India's performance in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has not been anything special. She could win only 2 out of her 4 group-stage matches, while the Indian team flopped against big teams like New Zealand and Australia. In such a situation, it has become very difficult for the team to reach the semi-finals. The team is almost out of the semi-final race. After this poor performance, captain Harmanpreet Kaur has come under question. Under her captaincy, the team is continuously flopping and has not yet been able to end the drought of winning the ICC trophy.

In the do-or-die match played against Australia, Team India had to face defeat by 9 runs. In this match, Harmanpreet Kaur scored the highest unbeaten 54 runs from the Indian team. But during this time she faced 47 balls. She remained on the field till the end, yet could not bring victory. However, this was not the first such occasion. Harmanpreet Kaur has scored a total of 14 half-centuries in T20 for Team India so far, but during this time the team has won only on 6 occasions. That is, she plays a big innings but fails to take the team to victory.

Harmanpreet Kaur is currently one of the most senior players of Team India. But on important occasions, she makes such mistakes that surprise everyone. Something similar was seen against Australia as well. The team needed 14 runs to win the match in the last over, on such occasions Harmanpreet needed to play big shots, but she played only 2 balls in the entire over and kept watching the team lose from the non-strike. When 13 runs were needed on the last 3 balls, she was seen taking 1 run. Even before this, she has done this on many occasions by bringing the team close to victory.

Harmanpreet Kaur is known for her explosive batting. But in T20, she is not able to do much against big teams. Her average in T20 against Australia is only 29.06. Whereas, her average against England is only 22.47. Not only this, she has managed to score runs at an average of only 16.07 against New Zealand. Apart from this, her highest average is 66, which is against the UAE team.

Bad condition in captaincy too

Harmanpreet Kaur has been leading the Indian T20 team since 2012. During this time, Team India has won 70 out of 122 matches. But she has failed to make the team win against big teams. Under her captaincy, Team India has defeated Australia in only 4 out of 23 T20 matches. Against England too, only 6 out of 16 matches have been won. At the same time, Team India has been able to defeat New Zealand in only 2 out of 7 matches.

Workload management is also important for Harmanpreet

Harmanpreet Kaur is 35 years old and the next T20 World Cup is to be played in the year 2026. She will be 37 years old by the next T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet is currently captaining Team India in all three formats. In such a situation, considering the workload management, she should leave one of the formats. Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also took a similar decision and left the T20 format.
