India captain Harmanpreet Kaur expressed a resolute determination to “break that barrier” and end the nation’s long wait for its first ICC women’s title as the Women’s ODI World Cup trophy was unveiled ahead of the tournament later this year. Speaking at the 50-day countdown event in Mumbai, she reflected on the team’s emotional journey since finishing runners-up in 2017, recalling her unforgettable 171* in the semi-final and the overwhelming homecoming reception, moments that still give her “goosebumps.” Harmanpreet described playing on home soil as “always special” and highlighted the upcoming home series against Australia, starting September 14, as a crucial confidence-builder before the World Cup. Drawing inspiration from cricket icon Yuvraj Singh—whose words, she said, provided an extra boost—she radiated optimism that, this time, India would seize the opportunity and deliver “something special for my country.”
