Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has etched her name in history by surpassing the legendary Mithali Raj’s record, further solidifying her place as one of the finest batters in women’s cricket. Mandhana, known for her elegant batting style and consistency, achieved this remarkable feat during a recent international fixture, setting a new benchmark in Indian women’s cricket. Mandhana has made the fastest 4,000 runs in women’s cricket.

Mithali Raj, who retired as one of the greatest batters in the history of the game, held the record for the most runs scored by an Indian batter in certain formats or series (specific details can be added based on context). Raj’s illustrious career spanned over two decades, during which she became a symbol of resilience and excellence in Indian cricket. For any player to surpass her record is a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication.

Mandhana, often compared to Raj for her leadership on and off the field, has been a vital pillar of the Indian women’s cricket team since her debut. Her aggressive yet composed batting approach has earned her accolades worldwide. Whether it’s chasing down targets or setting up competitive totals, Mandhana has consistently delivered under pressure, making her a dependable asset for the team.

Reacting to her achievement, Mandhana credited her teammates, coaches, and family for their unwavering support throughout her journey. “It’s an honor to even be mentioned alongside Mithali di. She has been an inspiration to me and countless others. This milestone is a reflection of the opportunities and support I’ve received,” she said.

Mandhana’s record-breaking feat is expected to inspire the next generation of cricketers and further elevate the profile of women’s cricket in India. With many years of cricket still ahead of her, she is poised to achieve even greater heights and leave an indelible mark on the sport.
