Former India captain Mithali Raj has made an interesting comment on whether Indian women's cricket team needs a change in captaincy after their Women's T20 World Cup exit from the group stage. It was first time under Harmanpreet Kaur's long captaincy tenure that India failed to qualify for the knock-outs of the ICC mega event, extending the team's title-less run in world events and putting serious questions over her future in the team as captain. Mithali Raj was asked, "Harmanpreet Kaur has captained India in T20 World Cups since 2018 but the results have not come. Should the selectors move on from her and appoint someone younger."

This is a pic from the N Stand at Chinnaswamy Stadium," he wrote.
