From batting aggressively, fielding ferociously to bowling brilliantly, India ticked a lot of boxes on their way to winning silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The first time was in the historic inaugural game as women’s cricket made its debut at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. India reaching the 2017 ODI World Cup final gave women’s cricket unprecedented visibility. As Harmanpreet admitted after the final, the “batting mistakes” have now cost India the 2017 ODI World Cup trophy, 2020 T20 World title and 2022 CWG gold.
