Ex-India Pacer Niranjana Backs Harmanpreet To Remain T20I Captain Despite Early WC Exit
T20 World Cup: Former India pacer Niranjana Nagarajan has backed Harmanpreet Kaur to remain as the T20I captain despite another group stage exit in the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup, adding that she hasn’t underperformed as a skipper and instead pointed to a structural need for middle-order power hitters in the shortest format.
The debate surrounding India’s shortest-format leadership had intensified following the Indian team failing to enter Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals for the second straight time. It happened just a fortnight before India’s historic Test triumph over England at Lord’s. Harmanpreet will turn 39 by the time the 2028 Women’s T20 World Cup arrives, with many advocating for a leadership transition to happen.
“I think Harman is doing a good job. I don't think one World Cup loss should bother so much. This is the problem - one loss and everything comes up. The same Harman, who won the ODI World Cup, why not just back her for one off tournament? Give her that space. At the end of the day, they are all going through the same thing. We are all humans and make mistakes.
