As Harmanpreet Kaur demonstrated during her 143 against England, a combination of fluid bat-swing and finishing the shot has elevated batting in women’s cricket in recent years. It was a mishit really, off the fifth ball she faced on Wednesday evening against England, but it said much about Harmanpreet Kaur’s bat-swing, the soul of her batting. It was a gentle length delivery from the left-armer Freya Kemp – who would cop it from Harmanpreet in the end overs – and it seemed a regulation push, but her hands got away from her, as if on a mind of their own; she just about checked it and looked up with a touch of concern but even that handcuffed flow had chipped the ball over the mid-on fielder for a couple of runs. Not many swing it like Harmanpreet Kaur. Catch the highlights of her mayhem at the end of the knock. She doesn’t carve over off; she fluidly scoops. She doesn’t heave to leg; she swings them. One of Indian cricket’s big hitters of yesteryears Salim Durani has a lovely verb to detail his sixes. “I lifted him for a six, I lifted him over long-on and such …”; Salim bhai never uses ‘hit’. Harmanpreet can proudly use the same lingo. Read More
