Fans on social media have raised questions about Mandhana and Kaur’s interaction during the team’s post-match celebrations at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium. Earlier, ICC took action against Shafali Verma over an abuse incident.
And now the latest viral video has once again brought the relationship between the two senior Indian stars into the spotlight and triggered debate among fans.
She shook hands with the players, while Mandhana was seen shaking hands with her teammates, but the Indian captain was not seen having a moment with Kaur. Even when the players were returning to the dugout, Mandhana didn’t pay any heed to Kaur, while the former Indian captain can be seen distancing herself from the current skipper in Raipur.

Harmanpreet Kaur reveals secret behind her new batting mindset
Meanwhile, Harmanpreet Kaur smashed an unbeaten 91 off just 41 balls to help India seal the T20I 3-0 against Zimbabwe in Raipur. Coming in to bat in the eighth over, she started slowly but soon changed gears, smashing 20 runs off Kudzai Chigora’s over with two fours and two sixes.
Kaur said at the post-match presentation, “I don't think there is any pressure anymore. I think now it's all about enjoying myself on the field, and I think that's what I want to do. I definitely enjoy myself in the middle, and this is what I'm here for. I just want to enjoy my batting, and good luck with those runs."
Why did Smriti Mandhana not bat in India’s 3rd T20I against Zimbabwe?
In the third T20I in Raipur, India batted first, but Mandhana did not come out to bat, as Anushka Sharma opened the innings alongside Shafali Verma.
Mandhana said, “In the first match we could not get going again – top order as well – then in the second match the [middle order] did not get an opportunity to bat, so it’s always good to have some game time and always good to have some runs behind your back.”
