Indian Women's Cricket Team captain Harmanpreet Kaur may be one of the most formidable batters on the field, but when it comes to food, the star cricketer prefers keeping things simple and rooted in home-cooked comfort. Currently leading India in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, Harmanpreet recently shared insights into her diet and eating habits in an interview with ESPN.

The skipper revealed that she avoids heavy meals before matches and prefers eating light to stay agile on the field. According to Harmanpreet, consuming heavy food can leave players feeling bloated and affect their movement and natural rhythm while running between the wickets.

"When playing in India, I usually go for boiled rice, dal, and whatever vegetarian starters there are," she said, explaining her pre-game meal preferences.

Among all dishes, it is dal that holds a special place in her heart. The cricketer admitted that her meal feels incomplete without it and that she can happily eat it every single day.
