After the match, Harmanpreet admitted that India missed more runs And he emphasized the need to solve recurring problems, such as tabs and lack of sixth bowling options. She proposed that the combination of the team worked well in the past and did not need drastic changes, but its notes did not sit with many supporters.
Her comments, however, did not go well with many supporters, who felt that the captain needed to take more responsibility both as a leader and a bat. The Indian captain fought throughout the tournament and fought only 71 runs in five matches without any half century in her name. Social media fans have since demanded a change in leadership, which suggests Mandhana’s Small as a potential replacement.
The fans flooded the social media with criticism and expressed disappointment in its tab form and decision -making. Many have pointed out that the captain has so far managed only 71 runs in five shifts at the World Cup and challenged its inability to lead from the front. Some even demanded a change in leadership and urged the leadership to pass the captain to Vice-Capitan to smoke Mandhana, whose consistent performance excelled in the middle of Indian fighting.
Many even killed her for cursing their junior teammates, while she continues to fight with the bat. Harmanpreet threw himself in Harleen Deola as the other refused to marry a quick single.
The Indian bowling strategy also got under fire, with their five shelters again proved ineffective. The young Pacer Kranti Gaud and Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma tried to reduce Australian persecution, allowing defending champions to easily rework the target 331 running. The absence of Renuka Thakur and Radha Yadav let the attack look one -dimensional on a flat pitch.
This defeat contributes to the bad record of India against the main teams, because they have remained without victory against Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa in the last five years. With another place with a high score awaiting them in Indore for a clash against England, the captain and team face the pressure to reset to reach turn.
For Harmanpreet Kaur, this is formed into one of the most difficult phases of her captain, with its form and tactical approach under sharp control. Great matches could be well determined whether India adheres to his experienced captain or takes a bold step towards a new lead.
