Harmanpreet Kaur’s brilliant response to anchor:

During the presentation ceremony, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur came up with a brilliant response after the anchor mistakenly called her Jemimah Rodrigues.

After the interview was complete, the presenter said: “Thank you Jemimah.”

In reply, Harmanpreet Kaur did not show any displeasure but just walked away after saying: “Harmanpreet Kaur.” The India star did not even wait to see the presenter’s reaction or hear his apology as she walked away before the presenter corrected himself.

Here is a clip of the incident:

“Thank you very much, Jemimah and congratulations”

“Harmanpreet Kaur, thank you”
