Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur scripted a historic milestone in the Women's Premier League (WPL) on January 13, 2026, becoming only the second batter in the tournament's history to complete 1,000 runs. The Indian all-rounder achieved the feat during a dominant performance against Gujarat Giants at the DY Patil Stadium, smashing a brilliant 71 off just 43 balls. This innings, combined with crucial partnerships alongside Amanjot Kaur and Nicola Carey, powered Mumbai Indians to a comprehensive seven-wicket victory, marking their second consecutive win in the ongoing WPL 2026 season.

Kaur's knock not only sealed the chase but also etched her name in the record books. She now stands as the owner of the most fifty-plus scores in WPL history with 10, surpassing Nat Sciver-Brunt and Meg Lanning, who each have nine. With this achievement, Harmanpreet has amassed 1,016 runs in 30 matches (29 innings) at an outstanding average of 46.18 and a strike rate of 146.18. Her consistency has been a cornerstone of Mumbai Indians' success, particularly in run-chases, where she has scored 432 runs in 12 innings at an average of 72, including five half-centuries and a highest score of 95.

Kaur has been particularly dominant against Gujarat Giants, scoring 422 runs at an extraordinary average of 84.4 and a strike rate of 176.56, including five fifties. This latest performance further solidified her reputation as a formidable opponent for the side. With this victory, Mumbai Indians maintained their perfect record against Gujarat Giants, winning all eight encounters in WPL history—the only instance of a team achieving a 100% win rate against an opponent in the tournament.
