She described this recognition as a significant milestone, reflecting her dedication and perseverance in the sport.
The unveiling of Harmanpreet's wax statue took place in Jaipur, where it will join the statues of Tendulkar and Dhoni. During a media event hosted by Omaxe Ltd. in Dwarka, she shared her childhood memories of watching these legends play and how surreal it feels to be honored in such a manner.

Reflecting on her career, Harmanpreet emphasized her commitment to enhancing her skills and contributing to her country. She noted that the accolades she has received were beyond her initial expectations. "It's all about relentless effort. Life has many surprises in store. My focus has always been on my cricket goals and how I can elevate the sport in India," she stated.
The captain of the 2025 ODI World Cup-winning team expressed her joy over the recognition of her hard work, hoping it would inspire young girls to pursue their dreams. "I believe such honors will continue to come my way, and I am thrilled that my struggles are being acknowledged. I hope this motivates young girls to aim high," she added.
