Indian women’s cricket team’s star opener Smriti Mandhana is going through the best phase of her career in the year 2025. Smriti has now come very close to another big achievement by continuously scoring runs with the bat. He played a brilliant inning of 80 runs in the fourth match of the ongoing T20 series against Sri Lanka. With this he has achieved the milestone of scoring 10 thousand runs in international cricket. Now he has a golden opportunity to create history by defeating Shubman Gill before the end of the year.
A special record is on target in 2025
Smriti Mandhana has scored a total of 1703 international runs in all three formats so far in the year 2025. This figure is the highest for any player in women’s cricket in this calendar year. The special thing is that she can also hold the record of the player scoring the most international runs in both men’s and women’s categories. For this he needs only 62 runs. At present, Indian men’s team captain Shubhman Gill is at the lead in 2025 with 1764 runs.

The fifth and last T20 match between India and Sri Lanka is to be played on Tuesday. The Indian team has already taken an unbeatable 4-0 lead in the series. If Smriti Mandhana scores 62 runs in this match to be played at the Greenfield International Stadium, then she will become the highest run-scorer in international cricket in 2025. This achievement will also be considered very special for women’s cricket.
