Like Yuvraj Singh, Amanjot Kaur Fights Through Pain to Bring Glory

Amanjot Kaur, a young Indian all-rounder, has made a name in the world of women's cricket. She has been playing an exceptional game of cricket in recent years, whether at the international level or in WPL. She made it to the India Women's Cricket Team in 2023 and has been playing white ball cricket.

Amanjot Kaur played a very similar role in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 to that of Yuvraj Singh in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2011. Though Amanjot Kaur's contribution in the World Cup was not appreciated much. She played the best of her game, starting with the crucial knock in the first match of the World Cup against Sri Lanka, to the final match against South Africa, where she showed her skills in the field with a game-changing run out and an important catch of Laura Wolvaardt.

Grief to Glory: Amanjot Kaur Gives 100% in WWC

The game of cricket tests a player in all possible ways, from physical strength on the field to mental toughness off the field. The life of a cricket player is not a bed full of roses, where every player has their own struggling journey behind the success in the game. There are a number of the best cricketers in the world who have prioritized playing for their country over what was going on in their personal lives.

Amanjot Kaur showed her will in converting grief to glory, where her mental strength was tested during the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, from not having a stable place in the team, to facing the grief of her ill grandmother. The career of Amanjot Kaur in cricket is due to her grandmother, who used to take her to the cricket field, hiding from her parents.

Amanjot Kaur was only given partial information about her grandmother's health and her condition, where she was only told that she was not doing well. But the reality was different as Amanjot Kaur lost her grandmother a day before the final match of the World Cup and was not informed about the same to avoid distraction in the biggest game of her life. Amanjot Kaur's statement after the World Cup win:

The news about Amanjot Kaur's personal life would have shattered her after the World Cup win. A similar kind of situation was during the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2011, when Yuvraj Singh, a legend of Indian cricket, was playing the World Cup after being diagnosed with cancer and went on to be the Player of the Tournament. Though Amanjot didn't win any award but her part in the final on the field with a crucial run-out and an important catch changed the course of the game.

Amanjot Kaur Performance in World Cup

The young all-rounder, Amanjot Kaur, has all the caliber to become one of the best women cricketers in the world with the kind of game she offers with both bat and ball. She has given an exceptional performance in the Women's World Cup 2025, where she was the lifesaver for the Indian team in many matches.

She played a crucial knock in the first match of the World Cup against Sri Lanka, where the batting collapsed, and she managed to take the team to a decent total. She was very handy with the ball as well, where in the league match against South Africa, she took important wickets in the death overs, putting pressure back on the opposition, but unfortunately, India lost the match.

In the final match of the Women's World Cup, she justified that she could be a three-dimensional player in the future. Whenever she fails to deliver with bat and ball, she does justice with her fielding. She was involved in amazing fielding in the final, which was the game-changing moment, including a run out in the initial overs, which broke the partnerships, and then an important catch of Laura Wolvaardt, which brought India inches closer to the World Cup. She also won the field of the match after her performance on the field. In the upcoming years, it will be interesting to watch where her future goes as she is the future of India women's cricket team.
