Amanjot Kaur marked his debut in the Women’s World Cup with his first century ODI in Guwahati
India started as favourites in their Women’s World Cup opener against Sri Lanka. While the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur were expected to dominate proceedings, it was a surprise package in Amanjot Kaur that put on a show in Guwahati. Amanjot stroked a stunning half century to rescue India from a spot of bother on Tuesday.
Amanjot Kaur stars in Women’s World Cup debut
India were cruising at 120/2 in their clash against Sri Lanka Women on Tuesday. However a middle order collapse left the Women in Blue reeling. India lost four wickets for 6 runs, bringing Amanjot Kaur to the crease.
The 25-year-old playing her first Women’s World Cup, stitched a vital partnership with Deepti Sharma. Kaur played a counter attacking half-century to help India past 200. It was Amanjot’s first 50+ for India in ODIs, in just her 10th appearance in the format.
Who is Amanjot Kaur?
Amanjot Kaur plays for Punjab in domestic cricket having previously represented Chandigarh. The 25-year-old made her ODI debut in 2023. A rare seam bowling all rounder, Kaur has seemingly made herself indispensable in recent times. Pooja Vastrakar’s injury has opened up a spot for her and has settled in well.
Amanjot has featured for Mumbai Indians since the inaugural edition of WPL.
