Smriti Mandhana becomes the first woman to score 1,000 ODI runs in a single year, setting a historic milestone in 2025 against Australia.
During India’s World Cup clash against Australia, Mandhana became the first-ever player in women’s cricket history to achieve this feat.
The milestone was reached in the eighth over when Mandhana hit Sophie Molineux for a six, breaking Belinda Clark’s record of 970 runs set in 1997.
That shot didn’t just clear the boundary — it cleared a milestone no one had reached before.
Mandhana’s achievement makes 2025 an unforgettable year for her.
