However, Kaur quashed those retirement talks in a now-viral exchange with a reporter in London. The reporter asked the 37-year-old whether the upcoming tournament would be her last World Cup, prompting Harmanpreet to question the basis of the query.
"Why? Do you think I should stop?" she asked.
When the reporter responded in the negative, Harmanpreet shot back, "Then why are you asking this question?"

The clip quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the India captain's confidence and presence of mind. Many compared the interaction to one of the most memorable press conference moments of Dhoni's career.
During that press conference, a reporter had asked Dhoni whether he had considered retirement after a heartbreaking loss. The former India captain responded by inviting the journalist to sit beside him before asking a series of questions about his fitness, running ability and age.
Harmanpreet's Dhoni Moment
Dhoni eventually concluded that the reporter had already answered his own question, creating a viral moment that is still remembered as one of the greatest press conference responses in cricket.
A decade later, Harmanpreet appeared to channel a similar approach, turning the spotlight back on the reporter rather than directly addressing retirement speculation.
