Harmanpreet Kaur says winning culture taking shape ahead of Asia Cup
India women's cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur says the team is hungry for more success as they head into the Asia Cup T20 in the UAE and the Asian Games in Japan. Fresh from a historic Test win at Lord's against England, India are record seven-time Asia Cup champions and will defend their Asian Games gold medal.
Speaking to Sony Sports, Harmanpreet said the team has built a winning culture where every player talks about how to win tournaments. She acknowledged the unique pressure of India-Pakistan clashes, saying the hype and expectations make it a high-stakes encounter unlike any other. India share Group A with Pakistan in the eight-team Asia Cup starting Friday.
Harmanpreet added that winning an individual medal at the Asian Games provides extra motivation compared to ICC trophies. The team lost the last Asia Cup final to Sri Lanka and will look to reclaim the title.
