Smriti Mandhana did more than score a century against Hong Kong — she moved past two of the biggest names in women’s cricket history in the same innings.
What happened
- Mandhana scored 124 from 64 balls.
- She moved to 10,880 international runs, passing Mithali Raj’s 10,868.
- Her 18th international century also moved her ahead of Meg Lanning for the most hundreds in women’s internationals.
Why people are paying attention
The milestones show both longevity and acceleration. Mandhana has built records across formats while still having years of international cricket potentially ahead of her.
What to watch next
The next fascination is how far she can extend the record totals and whether her peak years coincide with India turning strong tournament performances into major titles.
Bottom line
This is a developing or recently announced story. Bilibilii has kept the article focused on confirmed details and the practical reason the story matters, rather than speculation.
