In recent times she has adapted to the next phase of her life in India, turning out as captain of the Delhi Capitals in the ongoing WPL, where she has been in sparkling form at the top of the batting order for her side, 146 runs for the tournament at an impressive strike rate of 117.46. That form has helped the Capitals to the top of the WPL table with three wins from four matches and Lanning said she is enjoying her role in the side alongside former Australia teammates Annabel Sutherland and Jess Jonassen.
“I am just enjoying playing cricket… having a great time with Delhi, we have got a really good squad of players and staff that make it a cool environment to be in. I feel like there’s a little bit less pressure and expectation. I just come into the game wanting to contribute and help the team win,” Lanning was quoted by ICC.
