The Indian women’s cricket team is the toast of the nation. Harmanpreet Kaur, the skipper of the team led them to the victory in the ODI World Cup over South Africa. The player from Punjab said that she was certain that the team had the fire power to win the tournament. Well, Harmanpreet Kaur has shared a picture with her good friend, Nupur Kashyap. They have been buddies since 16 years and dreamt of winning the cup for India. It seems Nupur is also associated with the game. Now, people are wondering if Harmanpreet Kaur and she are in love. We have lesbian couples in international cricket married and unmarried.

Fans of the cricketer have asked netizens to exercise restraint. They said that she is a class player, and that is what matters the most. Supporters said it is rude to speculate based on a single photograph. Harmanpreet Kaur, 34 is fiercely protective about her personal life. After India’s win, the maximum search was for her husband. It seems she is not married. We know that interest in private lives of cricket players in India is huge. This is the first time, a female player has come under scrutiny. The fact that Sanjana Ganesan, commentator and wife of Jasprit Bumrah has liked some of the pics has kind of fuelled doubts a notch higher.

This post on X started it all......

A post from the handle of a Virat Kohli fan on X began this whole discussion. We have international cricket couples who are lesbians in international cricket. However, no male or female cricketer from India has openly expressed being from the LGBTQ community. Homophobic netizens have dragged in names of some other players speculating on their sexuality. This is downright deplorable and violation of privacy. Harmanpreet Kaur who is from Moga, Punjab is one of the best batswoman of the game in India.

Poll

Should BCCI take such rumour mongers to task and protect players?

TL;DR

Harmanpreet Kaur who was the captain of the ODI World Cup winning squad of 2025 has shared a picture with her close friend, Nupurr Kashyap. A lot of people have raised questions on the nature of the relationship wondering if they're in love. Fans have defended her saying that her personal life just belongs to her.
