IND W vs SL W 5th T20I | 'It's about repeating these habits...': Harmanpreet Kaur after whitewash against Sri Lanka

Speaking at the post-match presentation, the Indian skipper said all the hard work done by the team this year paid off and will be looking ahead to repeat the same habits.

"2025 has been great for us. All the hard work we have done, this year, we have got the credit. It's about repeating these habits. All of us have played a lot of T20 cricket together. It was about believing we can do that. Sir (coach Amol Muzumdar) spoke about strike rates and lifting the standards. Everyone was happy, and we wanted to set those standards. Going forward, we want to look at this series and think of what we can do ahead," she said.

Further, she also said that shifting her game from ODI to T20I was not easy and also said that the upcoming edition of the Women's Premier League will be crucial for all the players.

"As a batter, it is my responsibility to give strength to that order and contribute. Shifting to T20 from ODI wasn't easy, but everyone was excited to play. We fought for this, and I am happy how all things came together. Next is WPL, which is important for all of us. Hopefully, we play our best cricket and enjoy ourselves. The next six months are important, we want to keep working hard and raising the bar," added Kaur.

With the victory in the fifth match, the "Women in Blue" sealed the series by 5-0 against their distant rivals.

Shafali Verma scored 241 runs across five matches in the series with three fifties. In T20Is, she ends the year with 417 runs in 10 matches at an average of 52.12, with four fifties and a best score of an unbeaten 79 runs.
