4. Harmanpreet Kaur, India- 

The innings which changed the outlook of Indian Women’s cricket is the unbeaten 171 by Harmanpreet Kaur in the semi-final of 2017 World Cup. It was a knock that marked the start of a new era with Kaur as the pioneer of India’s modern female cricketing riches. From the start of her career, she played as a middle-order batter who can be an aggressor and an innings builder. Along with her batting, her off-spinners have also bamboozled some of the best in the business.

With 3322 runs in 124 ODIs, the cricketer from Punjab is now the batting mainstay of the team. Kaur was the architect of India’s first T20I series win in Australia and in that tournament, her ease of playing big shots caught the eyes of cricketing fans. In the 2018 T20 World Cup, she stamped her authority by stroking a ton in 51 balls and ended up as the 2nd highest run-getter with 183 runs.

Harmanpreet has been a guiding light for the youngsters in Indian cricket and is also a capable leader who has led her side in several global tournaments. Her contributions to the Indian cricket is invaluable and that’s why she was rewarded with an A contract. She earns around 50 lakhs per annum.
