The Indian women's cricket team, under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, is set on breaking its ICC trophy drought at the forthcoming ODI Women's World Cup. As they prepare to face Australia, their main competition, Kaur remains optimistic about assessing their strengths through upcoming matches.

Harmanpreet Kaur recalls the inspiration she drew from Yuvraj Singh's presence, as well as her unforgettable 171-run inning in the 2017 semifinal. The India-Australia series promises to be a benchmark in the team's journey, bolstering the squad's confidence.

Former player Yuvraj Singh advocates for individual self-belief and experience, while teammates Jemimah Rodrigues and Smriti Mandhana note improvements in preparation and mindset. ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta views the Women's World Cup as pivotal in advancing women's cricket.
