ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025

India opener Smriti Mandhana echoed Kaur’s belief and opened up on the changing mindset within Indian cricket over the past few years.

“The mindset has changed over the last two or three years. There’s a calmness with which I want to go about on the field," said Mandhana at the event.

“Our whole team is heading in that direction. We know where we want to work hard. And when we enter the field, we know we’ve just got to implement."

Mandhana added that the side was focusing on staying in the present and not looking to achieve specific landmarks.

“Whenever we’ve done well (on the field), everything else has taken care of itself. We are preparing really really well.

“We’ve had a preparation camp. We’ve had an England tour. We’ve one tour ahead of the World Cup. To be honest, that’s the only thing we are thinking about.”
