India T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Thursday said that they cannot bank on one or two players to win a game or the T20 World Cup, they need to play as a group in the mega event. India have failed to reach the final so far in the tournament and ended with a semi-final spot two years ago, the third time they reached the knockout stages.

“If you want to do well as a team, you need to come up together and do well for the side,” said Harmanpreet Kaur. “Through past tournaments, we have learnt that you cannot depend on just one or two players to win the game for you. If you want to win a big tournament like the World Cup, you have to come up as a team and that’s what we’re looking to do,” she added.

A lack of performance at the crucial moments has usually become the disappointment but the winds of change are going on ahead of their opening match against the hosts and the defending champion Australia on Friday. Harmanpreet has called on her players to do well in Sydney.

“Young players are mentally very fresh, they don’t know what type of pressure they have to face. They love playing cricket, that’s why they are in this side and they are definitely enjoying this moment,” the 30-year-old captain said.

“We’re really enjoying this, as a cricketer you miss these things when you don’t play,” she said. “When you’re playing at home you have more pressure. Australia may have that but they are a very good side, everyone is doing well.”

“We all know that Indian fans love cricket and wherever it is happening, they love to go and watch. That’s what we are expecting in this game. We love when India fans come and support us and that is a big positive sign for us,” she concluded.
