Indian stalwart Harmanpreet Kaur became the 5th player after Mithali Raj (210), Jhulan Goswami (183), Anjum Chopra (127) and Amita Sharma (116) to feature in a century of ODIs for India.

Interestingly, Harmanpreet had played her 100th T20 international also against South Africa.

The 31-year-old Punjab cricketer has 2372 runs in the 50-over format till date at 34.88 with 3 hundreds and 11 half-centuries.

“For her, it’s just going to be a milestone reached and it’s a good achievement for Kaur,” said former India captain Anjum Chopra.

“She (Kaur) is a regular one in both T20 and ODI and other leagues around the world and for her it is definitely a number achieved. Here, she would like to make it count when she steps on the ground for the first ODI,” said Chopra.

The Indian women’s team is back in action after almost a year having played their last international match – Women’s T20 World Cup final vs Australia – on March 8, 2020.

Several experienced players like Ekta Bisht, Anuja Patil, Veda Krishnamurthy, Taniya Bhatia, and Shikha Pandey have been rested while C. Pratyusha, Yastika Bhatia, Ayushi Soni, Swetha Verma, Monica Patel, and Simran Dil Bahadur have earned their maiden call-ups.
