She also set a new record for the highest individual score in the Women's T20 Asia Cup surpassing Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu's unbeaten 119 against Malaysia in the 2024 edition in Dambulla.

History unfolded at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. One giant surpassed the other as Smriti Mandhana became the highest-ever run-scorer in women's international cricket, surpassing Mithali Raj

Former India captain Mithali Raj on Friday backed youngsters Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues as future leaders of the national side in the shortest format.

Smriti Mandhana is more suited to lead India in the longer formats after Harmanpreet Kaur's tenure ends while the much younger Shafali Varma can be handed the reins of the T20 side, Mithali Raj said.

Former India captain Mithali Raj believes India should consider promoting captain Harmanpreet Kaur to number four after the team's six-wicket defeat to South Africa in the Women's T20 World Cup at Old Trafford on Sunday.

India are going great at the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, with two wins in two matches. First, they registered a convincing win against Pakistan, then thrashed the Netherlands

Mithali Raj said her dream of seeing Indian cricket dominate the global stage is finally becoming a reality with the men's, women's and junior teams winning major world titles in recent years.

This annual event celebrates outstanding achievements and lasting contributions in international, domestic, and youth cricket, while recognising individuals who have significantly influenced the development and prestige of the sport in India.

Indian cricket team Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill is all set to receive the Cricketer of the Year award at the BCCI's annual Naman Awards, according to a report.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur revealed why the team decided to include legends Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami in their Women's World Cup 2025 trophy celebrations.
