Harmanpreet Kaur, who became the first Indian women’s cricket team captain to win an ICC trophy on Sunday, November 2, will be honoured with a wax statue. According to a report in the Times of India on Wednesday (November 5), Harmanpreet will get a wax statue at Jaipur’s historic Nahargarh Fort.
As per the available information, at the Jaipur Wax Museum, located within the Sheesh Mahal of Nahargarh Fort, Harmanpreet’s statue will be unveiled on March 8, 2026.
According to the museum, the installation is intended not only to celebrate India’s World Cup win but also to highlight the achievements of women in sports.
According to museum founder Anup Srivastava, Harmanpreet is a symbol of courage, discipline, and the belief that Indian women can shine on the global stage.
Harman will be the second Indian World Cup-winning captain to have a statue at the Jaipur museum. Before her, MS Dhoni, who led India to the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup in 2011, also had a statue unveiled by the museum.
Harman in Women’s World Cup 2025
Harmanpreet played all nine matches for Team India in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 and scored 260 runs in eight innings. In India’s fifth league match played against England at Holkar Stadium in Indore on October 19, Harman scored 70 runs from 70 balls but failed to help India chase down the target of 289 runs.
In the semifinal match between India and Australia in Navi Mumbai on October 30, Harmanpreet scored 89 runs from 88 balls and added 167 runs for the third wicket with Jemimah Rodrigues, who remained unbeaten on 127 runs.
She won a total of five matches in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 and also sealed India’s win in the final by taking Nadine de Klerk’s catch on the third ball of the 46th over bowled by Deepti Sharma.
“This is the start. We wanted to break this barrier. And our next plan is to make this a habit. We were waiting for it, now this moment has come. So many big occasions are coming, and we want to keep improving. This is not the end, just the beginning,” Harmanpreet said after India’s win.
