The Indian women’s team bagged a creditable silver medal at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games 2022. Their only two defeats in the event came against mighty Australia, both by narrow margins and from seemingly winning positions.
During an interaction on the Sports 18 show ‘Sports Over the Top’, Harmanpreet Kaur was asked if she was excited about the women’s version of the IPL, which is going to start soon. She replied:
The Indian women’s team skipper pointed out that domestic players will gain immensely by rubbing shoulders with the best in the world, elaborating:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking to stage the inaugural edition of the Women’s IPL in March 2023. The league will hopefully help bridge the gap between the Indian team and the all-conquering Australians as the domestic players will get the experience to play in crunch situations.

The swashbuckling batter was further asked how much the experience of playing in leagues across the world had helped her in the Commonwealth Games, to which she replied:
