Having seen India rise closely over the years, Lanning spoke in deep admiration of the contributions made by Deepti Sharma, Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues.
But Lanning thinks Litchfield can trump them all and become the new captain when Healy decides her time is up.
Praising the 27-year-old, Lanning highlighted Deepti’s composure and versatility across situations.
“So if they're able to set up their tournament really nicely by putting in a solid performance up front, then it makes it easier towards the back end.”
Australia's loss to India, in essence, means they should likely win their remaining three matches in the group stage to remain alive in the competition.
Both these sides- India and Australia- had met in the tri-series final recently and are favourites to win the world title.
The 23-year-old southpaw has taken 51 innings to reach the 2,000-ODI run mark, thus becoming the third-fastest woman after Belinda Clark and Meg Lanning to achieve the milestone.
Healy played a sensational knock of 148 not out to help Australia register a massive 132-run win against Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at the North Sydney Oval.
