There were promising and less promising times, the hundred I got (in the warm-up) has given me certainty. Indeed, even that innings against New Zealand was exceptionally urgent for me. Presently I must proceed with that," Harmanpreet said in the presser. "I have exclusive standards of myself since I know my significance for the group. Indeed, even I need to progress admirably, here and there things won't be in support of yourself.
"Be that as it may, the last two innings which I played provided me with a ton of certainty. Whenever things aren't in support of yourself, loads of individuals talk about it yet the great part is the people who are near me have consistently given me certainty. I'm truly grateful for them in light of the fact that during that time it is critical to get certainty. I'm getting once again into my mood and I simply trust I can proceed with this musicality," she added.

"I realize a many individuals talk more regarding my 171 thump. I think I set myself a norm with that thump, I realize I can play that sort of cricket. Perhaps that is the reason my more modest essential thumps of 30, 40, 50 - for whichever group are not getting sufficient significance. I don't think I judge myself with numbers. For my purposes, what is significant is regardless of how much ever I score it should be enough for my group, independent of whether it is 100 runs or 10 runs. Numbers don't make any difference to me, what is important is the point at which the group needs me, I ought to be there."
Harmanpreet midpoints north of 40 at the number 4 space contrasted with under 27 at 5 in ODIs.

"This multitude of conversations continue to occur, you properly said I'm more agreeable at number 4 than 5. Here and there, you need to play as indicated by the group's requests. In any case, at this point I believe I will play at number 5. In any case, in ongoing we can do it as per the match circumstance and job, yet at this moment I don't believe I will play number 4, number 5 just will be my number."
