Smriti Mandhana Makes History: First Indian Woman to Score Centuries in All Cricket Formats

Smriti Mandhana has etched her name into cricket history, becoming the first Indian woman to achieve centuries in all three international formats: Tests, ODIs, and T20Is.

Smriti Mandhana celebrates her record-breaking century.

The historic moment occurred during the first T20I match between India Women and England Women at Trent Bridge. Mandhana delivered a stunning performance, scoring 112 runs from just 62 balls.

Leading as captain, Mandhana spearheaded India's attack with a dominant display, hitting 15 fours and three sixes. Her aggressive yet controlled innings propelled India to a commanding total of 210/5 in 20 overs – their highest-ever T20I score against England.

This century also marked Mandhana's first in T20Is, completing a rare achievement that no other Indian woman batter had accomplished. Her century set an aggressive tone early in the innings.

Valuable contributions also came from Harleen Deol, who scored 43 runs off 23 balls, and Deepti Sharma, who remained not out with 7 runs off 3 balls. India maintained a high run rate throughout their innings. Lauren Bell was the most successful of England’s bowlers, taking three wickets.

Mandhana's accomplishment places her among the elite cricketers globally who have scored centuries in all three formats. This milestone is a defining moment not only for her career but also for Indian women’s cricket.

With this commanding performance, Mandhana has reaffirmed her position as the face of Indian women’s cricket.
