Smriti Mandhana Hits 10,000 International Runs, Eyes 2025 Runs Lead in Final T20I

She now sits 62 runs short of Shubman Gill’s calendar‑year lead heading into today’s series finale.

Overview

  • Mandhana reached 10,000 international runs during an 80 off 48 in the fourth T20I against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram.
  • Her 281 innings make her the fastest woman to the milestone, joining Mithali Raj, Suzie Bates and Charlotte Edwards as the only women to pass the mark.
  • Opening with Shafali Verma, she added 162—the highest opening stand for India in women’s T20Is—as India posted 221/2 and won by 30 runs.
  • The victory gave India a 4-0 lead in the five‑match series ahead of the fifth T20I, where a 5-0 sweep is in play.
  • Mandhana has 1,703 international runs in 2025, leaving her 62 behind Gill’s 1,764, a chase shaped by women’s far fewer Test opportunities outlined in her career split.
