So, it was good to see her back among the runs,” Veda told JioStar. “I think that’s exactly what is expected of her. Even though she’s not the captain now, she’s still a key batter India would want to have in the line-up, especially with the upcoming Champions Trophy campaign in Indian conditions. Having the experience of someone like Harman is important, and it’s important that she gets runs as well. However, it was not simply the batting performance that caught Krishnamurthy’s attention. Harmanpreet’s emotional response also prompted the former India player to reflect on how the senior batter expresses herself, both during matches and away from the field.
