Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has expressed satisfaction over her team’s preparations for their five-match T20I series against World No.1 Australia.
Kaur, 33, reckoned that team’s new batting coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar’s calm approach will help her players counter pressure situations. “He [Kanitkar] is very calm and we needed someone who could give us that calmness on the field. We have seen in the past that sometimes in crucial situations, the girls need support of someone who can guide them calmly, tell them what to do with clear thoughts. Having experienced it all in Sri Lanka, when we came to know he would be around for the Australia series, there was a lot of positivity within the team,” Kaur told mid-day during a pre-match press conference on Thursday, when asked about the areas her team were looking to work with Kanitkar.
