Historic Feat by Harmanpreet Kaur in WPL!

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of Mumbai Indians, reached a rare and historic milestone in the Women's Premier League (WPL). During the match against Gujarat Giants held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Harmanpreet became the second player in WPL history and the first Indian cricketer to complete 1,000 runs in the tournament. This achievement further underlines her consistency and leadership at the highest level of women’s T20 cricket.

The first player to cross the 1,000-run mark in WPL history was Harmanpreet’s Mumbai Indians teammate Nat Sciver-Brunt. In the same match, Harmanpreet played a match-winning knock, scoring an unbeaten 71 runs off just 43 balls, which included seven boundaries and two sixes, steering Mumbai Indians to a convincing victory over Gujarat Giants. With this innings, she also registered her 10th half-century in WPL, the most by any player in the league so far, placing her at the top of the list for most fifties in the tournament’s history.

At present, the list of top run-scorers in WPL history is led by Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur, both representing Mumbai Indians with 1,000-plus runs. They are followed by Ellyse Perry of RCB with 972 runs, Meg Lanning of Delhi Capitals with 952 runs, and Shafali Verma of Delhi Capitals with 865 runs.
