NEW DELHI, Dec 17: India women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Saturday credited head coach Amol Muzumdar for taking vital decisions for the team, conceding that she lacked the requisite experience of leading in Tests, after they completed a record 347-run win over England here. India took precisely seven sessions to create the world record in terms of the largest Test win by runs, while also registering their first-ever victory over England at home and overall their sixth in 39 Tests, here at the DY Patil Stadium.
Harmanpreet, who made her Test debut in 2014, led India for the first time in the format in this game.
"Our coach helped us a lot, I had zero experience in leading the team in Test," Harmanpreet told the media after the massive win.
"I was trusting his (Muzumdar's) decisions - be it sending Shubha (Satheesh) at one-down in the first innings or whatever ideas he gave in bowling, like the first 40 minutes were important today, the idea was to put them (England) in early and utilise the morning conditions," she said.
