Smriti Mandhana says she is prepared to lead India if the captaincy opportunity arises. In interviews reported by Times of India and Yahoo Sports, Mandhana reflects on India’s historic Test win at Lord’s and describes her own role in the team’s performance. She also looks back at earlier T20 World Cup disappointments, saying lessons from those campaigns have shaped how she approaches future tournaments.
Mandhana further discusses the growing impact of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Indian talent. She credits the league with providing more competitive exposure and helping players develop skills that translate to international cricket. Alongside these reflections, Mandhana outlines her leadership views, emphasizing the importance of building and maintaining a positive team culture.
Across both sources, Mandhana’s main message is readiness—both in terms of experience gained through recent international results and through domestic competition—combined with a focus on team environment as a key part of leadership.
