Mannat Kashyap seeks ‘calm and cool’ Harmanpreet’s guidance ahead of Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup
The HinduMannat Kashyap has known Harmanpreet Kaur for a long time. “I had 18 more deliveries to prove myself and I kept telling myself that ‘ tu yahan se wicket nikaal, team ke liye achha hoga…’ and I just kept doing that,” Mannat says. “We knew that New Zealand are good with their cuts and pull shots, so the idea was to stick to the basics and try looking for wickets…” Youngest of four siblings, Mannat started her career at the age of eight and would initially play and train with the boys as there weren’t any women’s cricket academies in Patiala at that time. With the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup coming up next month, Mannat wants to play to her strengths. I am carrying my text books and also learning online.” Mannat, who studies humanities, quips, “It is easier to claim a five-for on the field than preparing for a political science examination…” With just a month left for the tournament, Mannat wants to have a conversation with Harmanpreet before leaving for South Africa, where the India U-19 team will play a couple of practice games before participating in the World Cup.
