Digital Desk: Indian cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is one of three Indians named by Time magazine in its list of the top 100 emerging leaders shaping the world.
Three Indians were included in the list, titled "2023 Time100 Next: The Emerging Leaders Shaping the World," namely Kaur, Nandita Venkatesan, and Vinu Daniel. It also featured Indian-origin Nabarun Dasgupta.
The Indian captain's "fire and flair have been instrumental in transforming women's cricket from fringe curiosity to one of the world's most valuable sporting assets...," the magazine added, underlining the fact that time at the top has not dulled Kaur's competitive streak.
According to a press release issued by the magazine, 34-year-old Kaur, secured "legendary status back in 2017 when she scored a then-record 171 not out off just 115 balls in a World Cup match against Australia, leaving spectators agog at her extraordinary talent."
It added that the cricketer is “still making headlines”, who was suspended for two matches and fined 75% of the match money in July for criticizing the umpires during India's tie-breaking match against Bangladesh.
Kaur was announced as the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI) team in March ahead of the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
In January, five WPL franchises were sold for a total of USD 570 million, and in March, Kaur guided the Mumbai Indians to the league's first championship.
Venkatesan, 33, a tuberculosis survivor, lost her hearing as a result of the toxic cocktail of pharmaceuticals she took for treatment, which caused her to develop a multidrug-resistant form of the disease.
She was listed with South African health campaigner Phumeza Tisile, who also lost her hearing ability as a result of the disease.
According to the studio's website, Daniel is the owner. The firm creates beautiful and functional structures primarily out of garbage and mud.
