Harmanpreet Kaur has become the most successful captain in Women's T20I history, with 77 wins under her belt. The Indian women's cricket team skipper achieved this milestone during her side's third T20I match against Sri Lanka on Friday. The match was played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, where India won by eight wickets. This victory helped them clinch a series win with an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Record-breaking achievement

Kaur surpasses Lanning's record in 130th match

Kaur achieved this milestone in her 130th match as captain. This is also the most number of matches for a captain in Women's T20Is. She has led India to victory 77 times so far, surpassing Australian legend Meg Lanning's record of 76 wins in just 100 games. Kaur's remarkable achievement highlights her endurance and steady guidance as a leader.
