New Delhi: Women’s IPL i.e. Women’s Premier League started on Saturday. Harmanpreet Kaur dominated the opening match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. He made many historical records and shattered many. He took his team past 200 runs (207/5) while scoring a quick half-century, then the team registered a historic 143-run victory over Gujarat Titans. The Gujarat team was bundled out for 64 runs in 15.1 overs.
In this match, apart from scoring a half-century in 22 balls, Harmanpreet Kaur also hit four consecutive fours in 7 balls. In the first 15th over, he sent the ball outside the boundary on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth balls of Monica Patel for 4 runs, then Ash on the second, third and fourth balls of the next over. Hit 3 consecutive fours off Gardner’s balls. Gardner’s first ball was not played by Harmanpreet Kaur. Emilia Kerr took a single on that ball.
In this way, if we talk about the Indian Cricket League i.e. IPL and WPL, then she has become the first batsman to hit 7 fours in 7 consecutive balls. He has left behind Ajinkya Rahane and Prithvi Shaw’s record of 6 fours in 6 balls. However, both of them achieved this feat in one over, while Harman did it in two overs. In 2012, playing for Rajasthan Royals, Rahane hit 6 fours in Srinath Aravind’s over against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Young destructive opener Prithvi Shaw, on the other hand, did so while playing for Delhi Capitals against Kolkata Knight Riders in an over bowled by Shivam Mavi, his U-19 World Cup teammate. This happened in IPL 2021. On the other hand, the great Sachin Tendulkar, Adam Gilchrist, Mahela Jayawardene have the record of hitting 5 consecutive fours.
