The captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, Harmanpreet Kaur, has earned a new nickname after being called the “Lady Kapil Dev.” Her teammates now fondly call her “Thor.” This nickname became the theme of a fun rap video created by cricketers Harleen Deol and Jemimah Rodrigues.
The rap’s lyrics go “Yeh Kaur nahi, Thor hai” (She’s not Kaur, she’s Thor). The video, shared on social media platform X, was originally recorded before the World Cup win but released after the victory to celebrate the team’s success.
In the rap, Harleen and Jemimah describe Harmanpreet as the “captain who hits sixes” and praise her as the pride of Punjab.
The lyrics said:
“Naam ke peeche Kaur hai, log kehte isse Thor hai, Punjabiyon ki shaan hai, yeh ladki Shaktimaan hai.”
After delivering these lines, the two players laugh and declare confidently, “We’re the ones bringing the World Cup home!”
