In addition to her remarkable run-scoring, Mandhana also became the fourth woman cricketer globally, after Mithali Raj, Charlotte Edwards, and Suzie Bates, to exceed 10,000 runs in her cricketing career. She achieved this milestone in just 280 innings, making her the fastest to reach this mark in women’s cricket.
