Indeed, Harmanpreet’s power-hitting during the clash against Giants was so remarkable that even the match referee had to inspect her bat, as the MI captain seemingly disclosed in the post-match interaction.
Harmanpreet disclosed that she had used her practice bat during the match for its better grip, but the match referee still examined her bat following her destructive innings against the Giants.
When a fellow anchor humorously expressed interest in taking Harmanpreet’s bat for herself, the MI captain revealed that the match referee had indeed inspected her bat.
Harmanpreet Kaur unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Giants bowlers. After being given a chance on 40, she switched to ‘beast mode’, going on a rampage of boundary hitting.
