Team India's performance in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has not been anything special. It could win only 2 out of its 4 group stage matches, while the Indian team flopped against big teams like New Zealand and Australia. In such a situation, it has become very difficult for the team to reach the semi-finals. The team is almost out of the race for the semi-finals. After this poor performance, captain Harmanpreet Kaur has come under the scanner. Under his captaincy the team is continuously flopping and till now has not been able to end the drought of winning the ICC Trophy.

Failed to win the match despite playing big innings

In the do or die match played against Australia, Team India had to face defeat by 9 runs. In this match, Harmanpreet Kaur scored the highest unbeaten 54 runs for the Indian team. But during this period he faced 47 balls. She remained on the field till the end, even after this she could not win. Although this was not the first such occasion. Harmanpreet Kaur has scored a total of 14 half-centuries for Team India so far in T20, but during this period the team has won only on 6 occasions. That means she plays big innings, but fails to lead the team to victory.

Make big mistakes on important occasions

Harmanpreet Kaur is currently one of the most senior players of Team India. But on important occasions she makes such mistakes, which surprises everyone. Something similar was seen against Australia also. The team needed 14 runs in the last over to win the match, on such occasions Harmanpreet needed to play big shots, but she played only 2 balls in the entire over and kept seeing the team losing due to non-strike. Even when 13 runs were needed from the last 3 balls, she was seen taking 1 run. Even before this, she has done this on many occasions by taking the team close to victory.

Very poor average against big teams

Harmanpreet Kaur is known for her explosive batting. But in T20 they are not able to do much against big teams. His average in T20 against Australia is only 29.06. At the same time, his average against England is only 22.47. Not only this, against New Zealand she has managed to score runs at an average of only 16.07. Apart from this, his highest average is 66, which is against the UAE team.

Bad condition even in captaincy

Harmanpreet Kaur has been commanding the Indian T20 team since 2012. During this period, Team India has won 70 out of 122 matches. But she has failed to lead the team to victory against big teams. Under his captaincy, Team India has defeated Australia only in 4 out of 23 T20 matches. Even against England, out of 16 matches, only 6 matches have been won. At the same time, Team India has been able to defeat New Zealand only in 2 out of 7 matches.

Workload management is also important for Harmanpreet

Harmanpreet Kaur is 35 years old and the next T20 World Cup is to be played in the year 2026. He will be 37 years old by the next T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet is currently captaining Team India in all three formats. In such a situation, considering workload management, they should leave one format. Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had also taken a similar decision and left the T20 format.
