Former India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has recently uncovered a massive tribute to herself, where she revealed a wax statue made in her likeness.
The India Women cricketer, who last played an international match in October against Zimbabwe, was present in Rajasthan to do the needful at a historical museum where her wax statue was made.
Harmanpreet Kaur reveals her own wax statue in Nahargarh Museum
On November 13, Harmanpreet Kaur was present at the Nahargarh Museum to unveil her wax statue at the Jaipur Wax Museum located inside Nahargarh Fort on the Aravalli Hills.
Although little information about the description and artist of the Harmanpreet Kaur statue has been made public, most wax statues in the museum are generally made by artist Susanta Ray.
Kaur’s wax statue features a remarkable victory pose, which is also one of Kaur’s signature moves after a victory. Harmanpreet was present there alongside Bollywood director Anurag Basu. Harmanpreet also posed with the bat swings and struck the pose to celebrate the reveal of her statue.
According to the museum management, the statue of the Indian cricketer will be displayed to the public soon.
Kaur said she was seeing her wax statue for the first time and thanked the people who crafted it. Notably, India won the Women's ODI World Cup under Kaur’s leadership, and following the historic victory, the Jaipur Wax Museum had announced plans to install her wax statue.
Which other Indian cricketers have their wax statues?
Wax figures have become another way of celebrating cricket's biggest names, with several legendary players finding a place in renowned museums across the world.

Virat Kohli has also been immortalised in wax, with figures displayed at Madame Tussauds in New Delhi and Bangkok. His statue was also unveiled at Jaipur Wax Museum, located inside Nahargarh Fort, on World Heritage Day in April 2024.
Former India captain MS Dhoni has been honoured with a wax likeness at the Chamundeshwari Celebrity Wax Museum in Mysuru, Karnataka, among other regional displays.
International cricket legends have received similar recognition. Australia's Shane Warne has figures at Madame Tussauds locations in London and Sydney, while West Indies great Brian Lara has been featured at Madame Tussauds in London and New Delhi.
