Harmanpreet Kaur has been one of the finest captains for the side. She recently led India to the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 title and then a gold medal at the Asian Games 2026 in Japan. It was clear she would step down from the leadership role, as she will play 1-2 more years before retiring from the game.
⚡️ Cricbuzz understands that Harmanpreet Kaur was apparently given the option of retaining the ODI and Test captaincy, but she chose to give up both t.co/mEJmV3BLHu
— Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) October 6, 2026Harmanpreet Kaur's record as India captain
Harmanpreet Kaur took over the T20I captaincy in 2016 and was made full-time captain across formats upon Mithali Raj’s retirement in 2022. After that, she has provided the Women in Blue with some amazing accolades across formats. She has the record for captaining the most matches in T20Is across men's and women's cricket combined; she has done so in 155 T20I matches.
Kaur also helped India win a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and her team beat England by 270 runs in the first-ever women's Test match played at Lord's Cricket Ground. She also led India to their first bilateral WODI series win over England since 1999.
Smriti Mandhana to take over as India captain
Mandhana has led India in 22 matches, mostly in the T20Is, in which she has won 15 matches. She might have learnt a lot from Kaur while she was there as the vice-captain, and Kaur will also help her in terms of decision-making during high-pressure situations once the former is appointed as the captain.
