Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 21 : India women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur features in Sony Sports Network's latest campaign 'Not a Gentleman's Game', launched ahead of the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026, celebrating the team's aggressive approach and rise in world cricket, according to a release.
Titled 'Not a Gentleman's Game', the campaign captures the intensity, aggression and relentless preparation behind India's rise to the top of world cricket. From solitary training sessions, heavy weights and bruised hands to explosive performances, packed stadiums and the World Cup triumph, the film showcases a team that plays hard, plays to win and refuses to be defined by convention.
The film opens with Amitabh Bachchan invoking the familiar phrase, "Cricket is a gentleman's game," only for Harmanpreet to dismiss it with characteristic confidence. As the action unfolds, the message becomes unmistakable: victory has no gender; it only has the colour blue.

With India entering the tournament as world champions, the campaign builds anticipation for its next continental challenge. Harmanpreet and her team will look to carry their winning momentum into the UAE as they compete for the Women's T20 Asia Cup, including the marquee India-Pakistan clash on September 5.
Rajesh Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer and Business Head, Sports and International, Sony Pictures Networks India said, "The Indian women's team has transformed both how cricket is played and how it is followed in this country. They are world champions, they play an aggressive and fearless brand of cricket, and they enter every contest expecting to win. 'Not a Gentleman's Game' captures that confidence through Harmanpreet Kaur and celebrates a team that has made the nation believe. The Women's T20 Asia Cup promises high-intensity cricket, and we are delighted to bring every moment of it to audiences on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV."
Harmanpreet Kaur, India women's cricket team captain, said, "There is nothing gentle about the way we prepare or the way we play. This film captures the intensity, confidence and ambition of our team. We know what it takes to win on the world stage, and we are now focused on carrying that momentum into the Women's T20 Asia Cup and bringing the title home."
The Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026 will be played in the UAE from August 28 to September 13, 2026.
