Harmanpreet had a year to remember in 2022. As a skipper, she led her team to a historic silver medal in Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham in August. Team India lost to Australia narrowly by nine runs in the final. Then later during the tour of England, she led the team to a historic 3-0 whitewash against the hosts in a three-match series in September.

Under her leadership, Team India also clinched its seventh Women’s Asia Cup title, defeating Sri Lanka in the final by eight wickets. Harmanpreet, the batter, was also in top form.
