Harmanpreet Kaur smashed eight sixes and seven fours as she made her way to her maiden Twenty20 International (T20I) century during the Women's World T20 2018's match between India and New Zealand on Friday. 

The Indian skipper smashed a 51-ball century to become the first Indian woman to score a T20I hundred as India kick-started their World T20 campaign with a 34-run victory over the White Ferns. 

Social media was bombarded with congratulatory messages for her and among them was Indian cricketer Suresh Raina who posted a sweet message for his compatriot. 

"Congratulations @ImHarmanpreet & welcome to the club of first T20I century! Wonderful inning and massive shots! Way to go!" Raina tweeted. 

 

 

Later on Harmanpreet revealed that her way of battling stomach cramps was hit massive sixes and that's exactly what she did on Friday in front of the small crowd that was present in the Providence Stadium, Guyana. 

"Yesterday, I was having little bit back problem. In the morning, I was not feeling well, when I came to the ground I was feeling a little low and getting some cramps. The severe cramps hampered her running between the wickets as she came up with a different plan. When initially I was running twos, I got a little cramp, after that the physio gave me medicine, and a little bit it settled down.

Then I thought instead of running too much, if I could I get more big shots because you run too much, you get more cramps. Then I told Jemi (Jemimah Rodrigues), 'if you give the strike to me, I can go for more big shots'," the captain revealed.
