Smriti Mandhana Creates ODI World Record in 2025
Smriti Mandhana becomes the first woman to score 1,000 ODI runs in a single year, setting a historic milestone in 2025 against Australia.
During India’s World Cup clash against Australia, Mandhana became the first-ever player in women’s cricket history to score 1,000 ODI runs in a single calendar year.
That shot didn’t just clear the boundary — it cleared a milestone no one had reached before.
She broke the long-standing record of Belinda Clark’s 970 runs set in 1997, crossing it during India’s earlier match against South Africa.
