The recently concluded one-off Test between India and Australia saw a heated moment between both the skippers, as Harmanpreet Kaur put up her furious side on display. The incident took place during the 80th over, as Australia's Alyssa Healy and Annabel Sutherland were batting to put up a target for the home team. Kaur took the ball in her own hands, as the team was struggling for a breakthrough, and spinners were getting some support from the surface at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

On the third ball of the over, Kaur bowled a nicely tossed-up delivery, as Healy came down the ground to hit it straight back to Kaur. Here, the Indian skipper saw an opportunity to affect a run-out, assuming Healy was still out of her ground. However, the Aussie skipper was well in, and the ball deflected off her bat and raced away to the boundary ropes. The Monga-born surely didn't seem to be amused and gave a furious look at her counterpart. The batter, however, smiled back and was surprised to see the ball coming her way, as she was well within her crease.

Harman still wasn't happy, as the ball eventually ended up going for a four. On the very next ball, though, she bowled a nicely tossed-up delivery on which the 33-year-old batter went for a sweep but failed to make any connection with the bat. The ball hit the pads, after which an appeal was made, and the umpire almost instantly raised the finger to adjudge the batter was 'Out'. After this, Harman was thumping in joy, as she felt she well and truly completed her revenge.

India win the game to defeat the might Aussie

After the captain's dismissal, the visiting side fell like a pack of cards and were bundled out for 261. The Indian team, in reply, needed just 75 runs to win. During the chase, there was an early hiccup, but ace batter Smriti Mandhana ensured that the team went across the line convincingly. Kaur & Co. won the game by eight wickets and ensured a historic win over the mighty Australian side. Sneh Rana, who took 7 wickets, was awarded the Player of the Match. Apart from her, Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, and Jemimah Rodrigues also made notable contributions to the win.
