Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma lit up the Women’s T20I against Sri Lanka with a record-breaking 162-run opening stand—the highest for India in women’s T20I history.
Smriti Mandhana has become only the second Indian woman to surpass 10,000 international runs—a historic feat that redefines greatness in women’s cricket.
As India aims for a clean sweep against Sri Lanka in the fourth T20I, pacer Renuka Singh is drawing confidence from a personal mantra: ‘Kerala is my lucky place.’ Her success in Thiruvananthapuram isn’t just coincidence—it’s the result of relentless preparation and new bowling mastery that could define India’s future in women’s cricket.
In a landmark moment for global cricket, Deepti Sharma became the first cricketer—male or female—to reach the elite double of 1,000 T20I runs and 150 T20I wickets, cementing her legacy as India’s greatest women’s all-rounder.
Powered by Shafali Verma’s blistering 79* and clinical bowling from Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma, India dominated Sri Lanka to clinch an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.
After missing the 2nd T20I due to fever, all eyes are on Deepti Sharma’s availability for the crucial IND vs SL 3rd T20I. Head coach Amol Muzumdar provides a promising update on her recovery.
