It would be rare to find an innings as dominating as Kaur's against Australia last year

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.
