Mumbai Inddigihunt skipper Harmanpreet Kaur stated that her team’s mindset heading into the Women’s Premier League (WPL) remains unchanged: to win, just as in the previous editions. MI is the most successful franchise in the tournament, having claimed the title twice, in 2023 and 2025.
Successful Mega-Auction
Ahead of the upcoming season, MI had a fruitful mega-auction, successfully retaining their core players while enhancing their squad with quality Indian domestic cricketers. With many new names rising in the circuit, Harmanpreet expressed satisfaction about the addition of fresh talent, given the extensive pool of players available across the country.
“Mumbai has always been special to me. It’s a special city for me, and I’ve got a lot of positive results. This season is going to be very special, hopefully. Our mindset will remain the same; that is, to win the WPL again. 4-5 years back, there was a group of just 20-25 players, but there’s a larger pool of players now. We are happy to have more talent around,” the two-time WPL-winning captain mentioned while addressing the media prior to the tournament’s fourth edition.
Focus on the T20 World Cup
The tournament will be crucial for players across all teams as they aim to secure a place in their national team’s T20 World Cup squad, with the global tournament scheduled in England later this year in June.
Harmanpreet will be particularly focused, having recently led India to the ODI World Cup title in November 2025. The Women in Blue clinched their first-ever ICC title after defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final on November 2 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. All eyes will be on the Indian skipper and her team as they aim to capture their maiden T20 World Cup crown.
