Due to her contributions to the team and country, the skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was also honoured. She received the prestigious Padma Shri Award from the Indian President Droupadi Murmu in an event. Now, Harmanpreet Kaur has also joined the list of a few players who have managed to win this award.

When this was happening, the entire Indian team was in England, having its practice for the England tour. Still, they could not miss the opportunity to watch their captain being honoured by the President. They even connected with Harmanpreet Kaur on a video call to congratulate her for the same.
Our Take
It was a moment to cherish not just for Harmanpreet Kaur but for the entire Indian team. Only a few players have managed to receive this award, and for Harmanpreet Kaur, it becomes more valuable as she is also a World Cup winning captain of the Indian cricket team. Now the team will shift its focus to the series against England, as they will be playing the Women's T20 World Cup in the coming weeks at the same country.
