Amol Muzumdar, the coach of the Indian women's team, became "aggressive" following India's World Cup defeat to England. Here are Harmanpreet Kaur's thoughts on the subject.
It's safe to say that nobody gave the hosts a chance to write an unlikely victory, especially when the Alyssa Healy-led team scored more than 330 runs. Jemimah Rodrigues's undefeated 127-run knock off 134 balls may have helped India defeat seven-time champions Australia in the Women's World Cup semi-final. India under Harmanpreet Kaur was struggling throughout the tournament; following early victories against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the team lost three straight games to South Africa, Australia, and England.Amol Muzumdar, the coach of the Indian women's team, became "aggressive" following India's World Cup defeat to England.

Harmanpreet disclosed during the conversation that the coach had started acting a little "aggressively" in the dressing room.
The entire conversation proceeded as follows:
Harmanpreet First of all, I believe Sir can tell you more clearly now that we have lost to England. He was the only one talking after that match, so I didn't say anything. I believe he can tell you more accurately.
Muzumdar All right, I'll take over now. I just had a brief conversation with the players.
You, Harmanpreet (playing Amol Muzumdar).
Muzumdar: In the dressing room, I did say a few things. However, it was discussed in a positive manner.
Harmanpreet: Everyone handled it well. Because we are aware that Sir speaks from the heart, we all believe anything he says. He was also a little aggressive that day, but in a positive way.
Harmanpreet: It was well received by all. We were certain that Sir was correct. I wanted to know how everyone on the squad was feeling, so I talked to them all after that. I am aware that Sir has reasonable expectations of us.
