Kaur becomes first to captain 150 T20Is

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur made history on Saturday, September 5, 2026, by becoming the first cricketer, male or female, to lead a side in 150 Twenty20 International matches. The milestone was achieved during India's Women's Asia Cup 2026 group stage match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The occasion was marked by a dominant performance from India, who bowled Pakistan out for a mere 55 runs, the lowest all-out total in Women's T20I history. India then chased down the target in just 8.4 overs, winning by seven wickets to finish atop Group A. The victory secured India's place in the semifinals. Kaur, who first took charge of the Indian T20I side in 2012, has now captained in 150 matches, a record that stands alone across both men's and women's cricket. Her record includes 87 wins, 57 losses, one tie, and five matches with no result, giving her a win percentage of 58. She has scored 3,319 runs as captain at an average of 32.86. The next closest player on the all-time list for T20I captaincy matches is Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu with 121.
