The Women’s side is ably being led by the 33-year-old. She has not been in the best of form. The skipper has not been able to convert starts and has been getting out on a string of low scores. Former Mumbai Cricketer Amol Muzumdar said that Kaur has been trying to hit the ball in the air too much and also has to keep two scoring shots in mind so that she can play more freely.
