Harmanpreet Kaur becomes the first cricketer to captain 150 Women's T20 Internationals

Harmanpreet Kaur, captain of the India Women's National Cricket Team, achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first cricketer to captain 150 T20 International matches. She reached this record during a Women's Asia Cup 2026 match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. At 37, Kaur emphasized enjoying the game as key to a long and successful career. She leads the list of women captains by matches, followed by Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu with 121 and Australia's Meg Lanning with 100. In the Asia Cup match, Pakistan chose to bat first, but Kaur expressed confidence in India’s bowling attack to restrict Pakistan to a low total and highlighted the importance of pacing innings while chasing.
