Smriti Mandhana has etched her name in the history books. The Indian vice-captain has become just the second player to score 4000 runs in Women’s T20I. New Zealand’s Suzie Bates was the first and only player to get there, but Mandhana has joined her now.
The Indian opener has eclipsed Bates and become the quickest to score 4000 runs in terms of balls. The Kiwi opener took 3675 deliveries, while Mandhana did so in 448 fewer balls, 3227.

In career-best form, the southpaw was part of India’s title run in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 just last month.
Despite smashing the record, Mandhana wasn’t in her best touch in Visakhapatnam. She played a run-a-ball 25-run knock. Harmanpreet Kaur wasn’t in the best of nick either. Shafali Varma went back to the pavillion early, and it seemed like only Jemimah Rodrigues could bat on the surface.
The Indian number three scored more than half of India’s runs, 69 (44), and was unbeaten until the end. After an excellent display by Indian bowlers, a target of 122 was never going to be hard. But Jemimah made short work of the chase.
