Indian players have been focusing on mental strength to improve performance, according to skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, as the women's T20 World Cup approaches.
India, runners-up in the 2020 edition, are drawn in Group A with six-time champions Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. Kaur emphasizes the mental aspect to excel in critical moments.
'We have been working on mental strength for a while. The last 3-4 overs are crucial. If we can remain mentally stable, we can execute our best,' Kaur told Star Sports.
Despite near-misses in previous finals, Kaur believes mental fortitude can make a difference. India starts their campaign on October 4 against New Zealand, followed by games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Dubai, and Australia in Sharjah.
Kaur appreciates the diverse backgrounds of team members, which enriches their sporting journey.
