Virat Kohli is breaking records in Men’s cricket, and Harmanpreet Kaur is doing the same in Women’s cricket. Harmanpreet Kaur creates history in WPL as she becomes the first-ever Indian player to score more than 1000 runs in Women’s Premier League in the match between the Mumbai Indians Women and Gujarat Giants Women at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai on 13th January.

This became more special as she played a match-winning knock of 71* in just 43 balls, which included seven boundaries and two massive sixes. Mumbai Indians Women won the match by seven wickets and four balls to spare. This was Mumbai’s second win in the competition.
