In July 2016, Harmanpreet created history as she became the first Indian player to be signed up for the Big Bash League. Playing for Sydney Thunder, Harmanpreet made an immediate impact in her first season, scoring 296 runs in 12 innings at an impressive average of 59.20. She also claimed six wickets.
