Harmanpreet Kaur:  the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), made history by being only the second batter in the history of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) to reach 1,000 runs, following Nat Sciver-Brunt.

at the present WPL match on Tuesday at Navi Mumbai, Kaur accomplished this accomplishment against Gujarat Giants (GG). With only 43 balls, she scored an incredible 71 runs.

The Mumbai Indians defeated the Gujarat Giants by seven wickets at the DY Patil Stadium thanks to Kaur’s historic tenth fifty-plus score and her vital partnerships with hitters Amanjot Kaur and Nicola Carey.

Kaur surpassed Mumbai Indians batsman Nat-Sciver Brunt and UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning (nine apiece) to record her tenth fifty-plus score in the WPL, the highest by any batter in the history of the competition. With 10 fifties under her belt, Kaur currently has 1,016 runs at an average of 46.18 and a strike rate of 146.18 in 30 games and 29 innings.

After this innings, Kaur has hammered 422 runs at an average of 84.4 and a strike rate of 176.56 against GG, including five fifties, continuing her outstanding streak against the Giants.

With five half-centuries, a top score of 95, and 432 runs at an astounding average of 72 in only 12 innings, Kaur excels in WPL run chases.

With this win, the Mumbai Indians have now triumphed in all eight of their meetings with the Gujarat Giants in WPL history. That is still the only squad in the history of the tournament to have a perfect record against an opponent.

After falling to second place in the tournament opening against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians have now won two straight games in the current WPL 2026 season.
