Ton-up Mandhana, Rawal help India sweep series
Hindustan Times Haryana
|January 16, 2025
An avalanche of runs
CHANDIGARH: Smriti Mandhana didn't just step up as skipper in Harmanpreet Kaur's absence; she also produced a flurry of shots to eclipse the latter's record for the fastest century in women's ODIs against Ireland in Rajkot on Wednesday.
The left-hander smashed her century in 70 balls before finishing with an 80-ball 135 as India amassed their highest total (435/5).
Harmanpreet's record had come off 87 balls. The 304-run victory - India's biggest in terms of runs - completed a 3-0 rout of their hapless rivals.
But the Rajkot run-spree wasn't all down to Mandhana. Within a month of her India debut against West Indies, Pratika Rawal, 24, has become the most talked about batter in Indian women's cricket. The Delhi player has amassed 444 runs in six ODI innings since replacing the inconsistent Shafali Verma at the top.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order
Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
