Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s trailblazing women’s cricket team captain who led the nation to its first-ever ICC title on November 2, 2025, is set to receive a unique honour — her very own wax statue. As reported by the Times of India, Harmanpreet’s statue will be installed at the Jaipur Wax Museum, located inside the iconic Sheesh Mahal of Nahargarh Fort. The grand unveiling is scheduled for March 8, 2026, coinciding with International Women’s Day, a fitting tribute to her remarkable leadership and contribution to Indian cricket.

According to museum founder Anup Srivastava, the wax figure will not just celebrate India’s historic World Cup victory but also recognise the achievements and resilience of women in sports. “Harmanpreet represents courage, discipline, and belief — qualities that have inspired a generation of Indian women to dream big and achieve globally,” Srivastava stated.

Her inclusion symbolises a new era for women’s cricket, one where achievements on the field are celebrated on equal footing with their male counterparts.

Throughout the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, Harmanpreet played a crucial role in India’s title triumph. She scored 260 runs in eight innings and anchored several key partnerships. Her 89-run knock in the semifinal against Australia, alongside Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 127, was pivotal in securing India’s place in the final.

In the final clash against South Africa, Harmanpreet’s composure and leadership were instrumental as India clinched the trophy by 52 runs. Her stunning catch to dismiss Nadine de Klerk in the 46th over sealed the nation’s maiden title.
