‘Big hits were my way of battling stomach cramps’

Published on: 

For an ordinary cricketer, battling unbearable stomach cramp could well mean retiring to the cooler confines of the dressing room but if it is Harmanpreet Kaur, she would just hit eight sixes in order to avoid running.

"Yesterday, I was having little bit back problem," Kaur said after the match. The severe cramps hampered her running between the wickets as she came up with a different plan.

"When initially I was running twos, I got a little cramp, after that the physio gave me medicine, and a little bit it settled down," she said. "Then I thought instead of running too much, if I could I get more big shots … because you run too much, you get more cramps. Then I told Jemi, 'if you give the strike to me, I can go for more big shots'," Kaur revealed.
