Harmanpreet Kaur vs MS Dhoni - comparing their stats after 152 ODIs

Harmanpreet Kaur will lead India Women in the 2025 World Cup, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2. The Women in Blue finished runners-up in the ICC event in 2005 and 2017, but are yet to lift the coveted trophy. Harmanpreet thus has a chance to create history.

The 36-year-old recently led India Women in the three-match home series against Australia Women, which the hosts lost 2-1 despite putting up a brave fight. The captain, however, had an underwhelming campaign, scoring 80 runs in three innings at an average of 26.67 and a strike rate of 114.29. After failing in the first two matches, she contributed 52 off 35 balls in the final ODI in Delhi.

Harmanpreet has so far featured in 152 one-day matches. Ahead of India Women's 2025 World Cup campaign, we compare her stats with that of former India men's captain MS Dhoni.
