The Indian women’s cricket team is all set for the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup, which begins from March 4 in New Zealand. Ahead of the team’s tournament opener against arch rivals Pakistan on Sunday, the players gathered for the official pre-tournament photoshoot. The ICC uploaded some candid moments from the event and the Indian team looked in high spirits as there was a lot of laughter and chatter among the players.
The highlight of the video was a traditional “bhangra” dance step by Harmanpreet Kaur, the team’s vice-captain. The video starts with Harmanpreet putting her hands high up and doing the tradition Punjabi folk dance step. She says “I only know this, wherever I go I do this” while doing the step.
The ICC captioned the entire video as, “A dose of laughter with some groovy dancing. The ???????? camp is filled with joy ahead of #CWC22“
The Indian team will be looking to go a step further than the previous tournament and win the World Cup for the first time ever.
India lost by 9 runs to England in the last World Cup in 2017. They had also lost in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup to Australia.
