Smriti Mandhana, the famous Indian women’s cricketer, whose fans often draw comparisons with the likes of Virat Kohli, achieved a famous feat for the Indian team.
Mandhana, while playing for India in the final ODI match of their home series against New Zealand, scored a stunning hundred to give his team a series win over the visitors.
With this, Mandhana marked her eighth hundred in the format as she surpassed former skipper Mithali Raj to emerge as India’s leading centurion in the white-ball format.
Mithali Raj, the great veteran cricketer, remains the World’s highest-ever run-getter in the format, while she also got 7-hundreds in her career alongside 64-fifties for India. Mandhana went past the ex-skipper and was followed by her current skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, who has six hundred as well.
India found centurion Mandhana and skipper Kaur’s fifty leading them to the winning cause as India lifted the trophy against Kiwi women by a series margin of 2-1.
Fans have a lot to say about Mandhana’s historic innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium

These achievements showcase the immense talent in Indian cricket and make the nation proud!” claimed an X user, who seems assured of the immense talent India possesses.
