New Delhi: A magical Harmanpreet Kaur played inarguably one of the finest ODI innings ever to lead India to an imposing 281 for four against Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Women's World Cup on Thursday.
The 115-ball knock became the talking point with fans and legends of the game bowing to the 28-year-old from Punjab. It indeed was one of the most pivotal knocks in women's cricket.
Soon after the right-handed batswoman reached her hundred, Twitter became flooded with everything that's Harmanpreet. Mind you, this is a very very long compilation, and there are personalities we hardly ever ignored.
Here are some of the tweets:

Haven't seen such singlehanded dominance in a long, long time. It's Harmanpreet Kaur vs Australia out there.

The total of 281/4 in 42 overs was India's highest ever total against the Southern Stars and could well be a match-winning total.
