Harmanpreet Kaur breaks down on live TV after scoring 91* vs Zimbabwe in 3rd T20I

Harmanpreet Kaur became emotional and broke down in tears during a live television interview after scoring an unbeaten 91 off 41 balls against Zimbabwe Women on October 20, 2026. The former captain was speaking to commentator WV Raman at the innings break in Raipur before wiping away tears and walking away from the cameras. India Women went on to defeat Zimbabwe by 92 runs, completing a 3-0 T20I series sweep.

The knock represented Kaur's first half-century in 10 matches and her first fifty in 2026 following a difficult run of form. Shafali Verma also contributed a fifty as India posted 216/7, securing victory in Smriti Mandhana's first series as full-time T20I captain. Kaur subsequently credited support staff members Himanshu Chawla and Munish Bali for helping her regain her batting form.
