Harmanpreet Kaur
Mithali Raj's career has transcended more than one generation of India's women's cricketers. In the present group, if there was one player even she would have her hopes pinned on becoming as good as her, it would probably be Harmanpreet Kaur.
In 87 matches, the right-hander has scored 2196 runs at an average of 35 but more than the numbers, it is safe to say that Kaur has already played her finest innings and possibly, even India's best-ever in a World Cup game, courtesy the 171 not out in the semifinal stage of the competition against Australia at Derby.
It was a statement, not just merely a cricketing exhibition.
