Harmanpreet Kaur is a prominent Indian cricketer who captains the India women's national team across all formats. She has been recognized with the Arjuna Award and leads the Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League.
India women's team captain, Kaur said, “I am thrilled to partner with Crex, a platform that shares my passion for cricket and is actively working to elevate the women's game. It's an exciting opportunity to connect with more fans and support the growth of the sport.”
PUMA welcomed Indian cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur to their family, announcing her as a new brand ambassador.
Harmanpreet Kaur partnered with Mattel India for their film 'You Can Be Anything', aiming to inspire limitless potential in every child.
Born on March 8, 1989, in Moga, Punjab, Harmanpreet Kaur Bhullar developed her cricketing skills early, playing with men and receiving initial coaching from her father, Harmandar Singh Bhullar. She further honed her talent at the Gian Jyoti School Academy. Kaur debuted in One Day Internationals (ODIs) in March 2009 against Pakistan during the World Cup, where she bowled four overs, conceding 10 runs. Her Twenty20 International (T20I) debut followed in June 2009 during the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 against England, where she scored 8 runs off 7 balls. Her ability to hit boundaries was evident early on, notably with a quick-fire 33 against England in a 2010 T20I in Mumbai. In 2014, she relocated to Mumbai and began working for the Indian Railways.
Kaur’s leadership capabilities emerged quickly. She captained the Indian women’s team to victory in the 2012 Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup due to the absence of the regular captain and vice-captain. In March 2013, she assumed ODI captaincy when Bangladesh toured India, where she scored her second ODI century and finished the series with 195 runs at an average of 97.50, along with two wickets. Her Test debut occurred in August 2014 against England, and in November of the same year, she took nine wickets in a Test match against South Africa, contributing to India’s victory. Her strong performances continued, helping India win a series in Australia in January 2016 and scoring 89 runs while taking seven wickets in the 2016 ICC Women’s World Twenty20.
A significant milestone in her career came in June 2016 when she became the first Indian cricketer to be signed by an overseas Twenty20 franchise, the Sydney Thunder, for the Women’s Big Bash League. In July 2017, she delivered a performance of 171* (115 balls) against Australia in the 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup semi-final, marking the highest individual score by an Indian batter in Women’s Cricket World Cup history. This performance led India to the final, where they were runners-up. She was recognized with the Arjuna Award in 2017 and was also named in the ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year. In October 2018, she became the first Indian woman to score a century in WT20Is, achieving 103 runs from 51 balls in the opening match of the 2018 ICC Women’s World Twenty20. She has led the Mumbai Indians to two Women’s Premier League titles in 2023 and 2025.
