What's the story
Veteran Indian opener Smriti Mandhana has etched her name in history by becoming the first-ever batter to complete 1,000 runs in a calendar year in Women's One-Day Internationals (WODIs). The dashing southpaw achieved this landmark with her 18th run during India's 2025 ICC Women's World Cup encounter against Australia on Sunday in Visakhapatnam. She was eventually dismissed after scoring a 66-ball 80.
