India women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur gave a befitting reply to a reporter who asked her if the T20 World Cup 2026 will be her last. The star was a part of the Captains’ Carnival that was held in London on Sunday ahead of the marquee event which will commence from June 12 onwards. Kaur, who led India to their historic ODI World Cup victory, smilingly snapped at a reporter, in what one could call a typical MS Dhoni type of response.

At the Captains’ Carnival on Sunday, a reporter asked Harmanpreet if this World Cup will be her last. 37-year-old immediately asked why, and then followed it up with another stinging response. She then completely shut down the reporter by asking why this question was even raised if he thought that she shouldn’t stop playing.
Reporter: “Is this going to be your last World Cup?”Harmanpreet: “Why?”
