Team India skipper offers prayers at Siddhivinayak temple

Harmanpreet Kaur, the skipper of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, on Tuesday visited the Siddhivinayak Ganapati temple in Mumbai. The 34-year-old led Team India to their first-ever Test win against Australia in a recently concluded series on Sunday.
