Smriti Mandhana Reaches 10,000 International Runs

Mandhana achieved the landmark during the fourth T20I of the five-match series against Sri Lanka at the Greenfield International Stadium. She reached the milestone in the seventh over of India’s innings. The left-hander joined an elite list featuring Mithali Raj, Suzie Bates and Charlotte Edwards, becoming only the second Indian after Mithali to reach the mark.

In Test cricket, Mandhana has scored 629 runs in seven matches at an impressive average of 57.18, including two centuries and three fifties. In ODIs, she has amassed 5,322 runs in 117 matches at an average of 48.38, with 14 hundreds and 34 half-centuries, making her the sixth-highest run-getter in the format.

In T20 Internationals, Mandhana has accumulated 4,102 runs in 157 matches at an average of 29.94 and a strike rate of 124.22, with one century and 32 fifties, placing her second on the all-time run-scorers list in the format.

During the fourth T20I against Sri Lanka, Mandhana scored a fluent 80 off 48 balls, hitting 11 fours and three sixes. She reached her fifty in just 35 deliveries, helping India post their highest-ever women’s T20I total of 221 for 2. With 32 scores of fifty or more, she holds the record for the most 50-plus scores in women’s T20Is.
