Harmanpreet Kaur EXCLUSIVE interview | World Cup winning captain on on her life and career

For years, India has known her as the woman who bats like a storm. But behind that power-hitter is a small-town girl who forgets phone chargers in hotel rooms, looks for a gurdwara on every foreign trip, and turns to gurupaath—the reading or recitation of Sikh religious texts—when she is alone. World Cup–winning captain Harmanpreet Kaur sits down with THE WEEK to talk about her journey, her mistakes, her team, and the version of herself she is still becoming.
