Cricket Viral Video: July 20, 2017 will forever be remembered as the day when Harmanpreet Kaur etched her name in cricketing history. Her remarkable performance of 171* in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup against the formidable Australian team is still afresh in fan’s minds. Harmanpreet played an innings that will be talked about for years to come and is arguably the greatest ever played by an Indian in white-ball cricket.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s Massive Knock
She smashed an unbeaten 171 runs off just 115 balls, a feat that was truly sensational and one that cemented her status as a true cricketing superstar. The stakes were high and Harmanpreet rose to the occasion, delivering a knock that will go down in history as one of the finest ever witnessed in women’s cricket.
India won the toss and opted to bat first in a match that was shortened to 42 overs-a-side due to the rain. Unfortunately, openers Smriti Mandhana and Punam Raut were dismissed cheaply, leaving India reeling at 35 runs in just 9.2 overs with skipper Mithali Raj at the crease. It was then that Harmanpreet Kaur made her way to the middle, with the hopes of setting up India’s innings. Harmanpreet Kaur’s knock was a masterclass in cricketing excellence, featuring an incredible 20 boundaries and 7 massive sixes, playing with a strike rate of 148.69
