The Indian fans are on their way to experience another T20 World Cup this year. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is taking place in UAE. Team India is yet to play their first match in this edition. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh believes Team India will be a formidable contender in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. He emphasized that the squad features a strong blend of experienced players and young talent, making them a team to watch.
Harbhajan Singh on Team India:
The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has come up with the ninth edition. The tournament has raised the curtain on October 3 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Indian Women’s team is all set to face New Zealand Women’s team in their inaugural match in this tournament. Even after showcasing exceptional form for multiple tomes, Team India is yet to win the World Cup trophy. The last World Cup was a real heartbreak for them as they made exit from the tournament from the semifinal stage.
But for this season, Team India is ready with their mighty squad. Before the first game, the former Indian spinner made a big comment. He said, “Team India will be the team to beat in this tournament. The World Cup is about to start, and I think India’s team is very strong. They have both experience and youth. Harmanpreet (Kaur) is in good form, Smriti (Mandhana) is in good form, and Deepti (Sharma) is an unbelievable spinner.”
Later he added, “They are a very capable team and have been playing very good cricket. The unit looks solid. If Team India plays good cricket overall, I believe they will win this tournament.”

On not Taking Any Pressure:
Beyond all the success, the Indian Women’s team is yet to lift any World Cup Trophy. In the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup, Team India ended up being the runner-up. In the last edition, they exited the tournament after facing a defeat against Australia. Harbhajan stated that Team India should remain free from pressure. He emphasized that the most important factor is courage, which will play a crucial role in their performance.
He said, “At this stage, the only thing that matters is Gurda, Jigra. Know yourself, play as a unit, and give your best. Results will follow. Don’t think about the big picture; just take small steps with each match and focus on the process. I hope if they follow these things, our team will perform very well.”
