Harmanpreet Kaur wants killer instinct in Team India ahead of CWG 2022 opener
The HinduThe Indian women’s cricket team had a series of discussions at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru ahead of its tour of Sri Lanka. Pooja Vastrakar, one of the key all-rounders, raised her hand and said, “we need that killing attitude…” Those present at the discussion appreciated the response and took a pledge to develop that indomitable spirit in the series against Sri Lanka and Australia. Now, as the team gears up for its Commonwealth Games opening encounter against Australia at Edgbaston on Friday, Harmanpreet says her side is working on imbibing the ‘killing attitude’ to tame the opponent. Other teams are also importan,t and we have plans for them, but we want to take one game at a time, and our focus is on the first game…” Batting friendly Even though the team did not have a close look at the wicket, the Indian team believes the surface will benefit both the batters and the bowlers. We just need to shuffle our batting order and bowling, and we are working on that…” After the opening game against Australia, India will face Pakistan, but Harmanpreet is not taking any additional pressure.
