Smriti Mandhana achieved a historic milestone in women’s cricket by becoming the first Asian batter to score 4,000 runs in Women’s T20 Internationals. This achievement came during her return to international cricket, highlighting her consistency and longevity in the shortest format of the game. She reached the landmark in a match against Sri Lanka at Visakhapatnam, where India secured an eight-wicket victory. Globally, she is only the second player to reach this feat, following New Zealand’s Suzie Bates, placing Mandhana among the elite batters in women’s T20I history.
