Smriti Mandhana scripted history on September 4, 2026, by surpassing Mithali Raj to become the leading run-scorer in women's international cricket across all formats.
The record-breaking feat occurred during the Women's Asia Cup, where Mandhana's spectacular century powered India to a dominant victory over Hong Kong and a spot in the semi-finals.
Mandhana now holds the record for the most runs in international cricket, cementing her status as a key performer ahead of the upcoming ICC Women’s Champions Trophy in 2027.
