Harmanpreet's gesture reflected her appreciation for Gaud’s match-winning performance as she gave her a signed ball with a special message written over it. "Dear Kranti, you are a star." Along with the message, her bowling figures (9.5 overs, 1-maiden, 52 runs and 6 wickets) were also written on the ball.
An 84-ball 102 from captain Harmanpreet Kaur laid the foundation for India’s series-clinching 13-run victory over England in the third ODI at Chester-le-Street. This marked Kaur’s first century since June 2024 and was the second-fastest century by an Indian woman in ODIs. Her knock powered the visitors to a formidable total of 318/5.
In reply, England fought hard through Nat Sciver-Brunt's 98 and her 162-run third wicket stand with Emma Lamb (68) but eventually ran out of steam as they were bowled out for 305. Kranti bagged her maiden five-wicket haul, finishing with 6 for 52 as India wrapped up the game by 13 runs with one ball remaining and clinched the three-match series 2-1.
Kranti became the fifth Indian bowler and the youngest to pick up a six-wicket haul in WODIs. She also became only the second Indian to achieve the feat against England after Jhulan Goswami (2005).
