The India captain posed for the cameras and was thankfully seen smiling. Picture and videos of her wet eyes had went viral after she failed to guide India home in the first semi-final of the World Cup against Aussies, a few days ago. Harman struck a fantastic fifty but an unforunate run-out meant India failed to cross the final line. In the post-match presentation ceremony, she appeared wearing dark shades and told the presenter that she wore it to avoid her tears. Harman said that she did not want her countrymen to look at her weak self. Later in the post-match conference too, Harman became emotional while answering a question on the heartbreaking loss as tears rolled down. 

India played well to the reach the final and but the old habit of crumbling under pressure in big games is still a problem. Harman posted a tweet to tell the Indian fans that the team will surely bounce back in style and win titles while she also thanked them for their unflinching support.

WPL 2023 begins on March 4 with the first game slated to take place between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
