Harmanpreet Kaur has built on her rich form and struck a sensational century in Vadodara on Sunday. Walked in after India lost two early wickets, the former skipper built partnerships with Pratika Rawal and Deepti Sharma to wrestle back control of the proceedings. It was her 8th ODI century, the second most by an Indian in WODIs behind Smriti Mandhana.
