After India completed a commanding 5-0 T20I series win over Sri Lanka, seam-bowling all-rounder Amanjot Kaur took home the Best Fielder medal for her exceptional fielding.
“I think the best fielder of the series, without a doubt, was Amanjot Kaur,” said head coach Amol Muzumdar in a video shared by the BCCI on their social media accounts, where Amanjot received the medal and huge cheers from her teammates.
In the final game of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, India beat Sri Lanka by 15 runs. Amanjot produced a composed all-round effort, scoring 21 off 18 balls and registering figures of 1/17, in addition to showcasing her sharp fielding skills.
The series win over Sri Lanka capped off a remarkable year for India, during which they won the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup on home soil, retained the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup trophy, and secured series wins against England on the white-ball tour.
“Wishing you a very happy new year. Let’s get into 2026 in the same way that we got into 2025. Well done once again. 5-nil is a statement,” added Muzumdar.
Once the New Year break is over, the Indian team members will join their respective sides for the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL), set to take place from January 9 to February 5 across two venues: DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai and Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
The tournament kicks off with two-time champions Mumbai Inddigihunt, led by India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, hosting 2024 winners Royal Challengers Bengaluru, captained by Smriti Mandhana.
While MI enter the tournament as defending champions, RCB are the only other side to have lifted the WPL trophy. Delhi Capitals, to be captained by Jemimah Rodrigues this year, have finished runners-up thrice under Meg Lanning’s leadership, while Gujarat Giants, led by Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, and UP Warriorz are yet to make it to the final at the event.
