Lesser Known Facts
Harmanpreet’s father was also a passionate cricketer but he chose to be a clerk at some judicial court to provide for her and her family. He was the first coach Harman ever had, who taught her how to play
When things were not looking good for her Harmanpreet applied for a job in the Punjab Government but only to be ridiculed and humiliated by the Punjab Police in 2010. However, three years later Maharashtra Government employed her in the Mumbai Division of Western Railways upon Sachin Tendulkar’s request.
Harmanpreet even captained the Indian side in 2013 when Bangladesh Women team toured India. She was the backbone behind India’s success as she scored 195 runs and took two wickets, even hitting her second ton in the second ODI
Harmanpreet also took India home like M S Dhoni did in the 2011 ICC World Cup final against Sri Lanka. She hit a sixer in the last ball against South Africa to qualify India for the World Cup
To pay the due respect owed to Harmanpreet, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh offered her a job in Punjab Police saying he would look into the sports policy of the states that are simply disrespectful to players
