PCA Announces Cash Awards for Harmanpreet Kaur and Amanjot Kaur After World Cup Win

“The last month has been very interesting. Rarely do things go according to your plan and yet you stay so positive. We were really looking for this cup, which was something special in our grou. Not a single player said, ‘What will we do now? Everybody just thought, “It’s okay." After losing the England match, we were really heartbroken. We were about to win that match, but we collapsed.”

“We had seen this in the past. That day, (Amol Muzumdar) Sir also said, ‘You can’t make the same mistakes again and again. You have to cross that line.' After that day, a lot changed for us.”

“Like 1983 (India’s maiden World Cup win)... it inspired a lot of cricketers in that generation. You never know. I just met a little girl, three or four years old, whose inspiration is Harman. She follows Harman wherever she goes, so there you go!”

“The next five minutes was a blur. I was here only (in the dugout). I was looking up in the dugout. I was looking up. I didn’t know what (had) happened”

“As a person, he’s very calm, but he can also send a message right across if the performance of any player in his team is wanting.”

“To get such a recognition in what’s the second innings of his career is truly phenomenal”

“This World Cup victory is a moment of immense pride for the entire nation, and we at PCA are especially delighted that key members of this historic achievement hail from Punjab. Their dedication and performance have brought great glory to our state and to Indian cricket.”

“In recognition of this unprecedented success, the BCCI has announced a cash reward of Rs 51 crore for the players, support staff, and selection committee, acknowledging their remarkable performance, dedication, and contribution to the nation’s sporting glory.”
