Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur has added another feather to her cap, becoming the second Indian cricketer to complete 8000 T20 runs. This impressive milestone is a testament to Kaur's incredible batting prowess and her enduring dominance in the shortest format of the game.

Kaur, who has been a stalwart of Indian women's cricket for over a decade, achieved this feat while leading the Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL). She completed this astonishing feat when she was batting against Delhi Capitals today. The Mumbai Indians skipper made 42 runs off just 22 balls. Kaur smashed a barrage of 4 boundaries and 3 sixes against Delhi Capitals.

Kaur's impressive batting record is a reflection of her skill, dedication, and passion for the game. Smriti Mandhana was the first Indian cricketer to achieve this milestone, and Kaur's achievement is a testament to the growing depth and talent in Indian women's cricket. Kaur's impressive record in T20 cricket includes a strike rate of over 120.

The highlight of her innings was a devastating assault on Delhi Capitals' fast bowler Annabel Sutherland, smashing 18 runs off just four balls in the 11th over. Harmanpreet Kaur's explosive sequence of three consecutive boundaries and a six off Sutherland was eventually halted when the Australian pacer struck back to dismiss the Mumbai Indians captain, ending a scorching 73-run third-wicket partnership.
