Harmanpreet, whose expressions convey countless tales, cried as India turned over the Aussies. She was more composed on Saturday night.
“In my view the crucial element is that we need to relish this because there is nothing bigger to this for us as players and as a captain. So our focus is to enjoy this moment and maintain minor goals that we must accomplish as a team rather than thinking grander aims since you can attain major objectives by accomplishing the small targets.”
“As an athlete, these instances are crucial. To overcome a team like Australia, which is a big team and historically excelled in global tournaments. It’s challenging to perform and be mentally strong against them. Yet, in my view surmounting that obstacle was something very special for everyone.

Tomorrow is a special day and we’ll approach with the same mindset.”
