Smriti Mandhana becomes leading women's run-scorer

Smriti Mandhana has become the leading run-scorer in women's international cricket. The India opener reached the milestone after scoring a century in the Women's Asia Cup, taking her career tally to 10,880 runs across all formats.

Mandhana passed former captain Mithali Raj's record of 10,868 runs. The 29-year-old reached the landmark during India's match in the continental tournament.

The achievement marks a shift in India's batting leadership after Raj retired from international cricket in 2022. Mandhana now holds the record outright.
