India’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur stated that the team will treat every opponent equally in the ongoing Women’s T20 Asia Cup.
India’s women’s cricket side, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, has reiterated a neutral approach as the T20 Asia Cup progresses. Kaur emphasized that the team will not single out any particular opponent, choosing instead to focus on executing their own game plan.
Speaking to the media, Kaur said the squad’s priority is to play consistent cricket, irrespective of the opponent’s ranking or past encounters. She added that treating every team with equal respect helps maintain concentration and reduces external pressure.
India’s campaign so far has seen solid performances, and the side now prepares for its next group‑stage fixture. The coaching staff and players remain committed to the same principle of playing on merit, aiming to advance to the knockout rounds on their own terms.
The statement reflects a broader strategy often employed by Indian teams in multi‑nation tournaments, where the focus stays on internal standards rather than external expectations.
