In a monumental shift for Indian women's cricket, Harmanpreet Kaur has officially stepped down as captain across all three formats. Despite an offer from the BCCI to retain her ODI captaincy, Kaur chose to resign fully, citing the immense pressure of the leadership transition and the team's disappointing campaigns in recent T20 World Cups.

However, her legacy as one of India's greatest leaders remains firmly intact. Taking the helm of the T20 squad in 2016, she led Team India to the historic 2025 Women's ODI World Cup final, secured back-to-back Asian Games gold medals, and won silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. With 155 matches to her name, she also holds the remarkable record of being the first captain globally to lead a team in over 150 T20 Internationals.

As her own words perfectly capture, "Captaincy ends. The journey continues," marking a new chapter in her illustrious playing career.
