With a polished innings of <strong>80 runs off 48 balls<\/strong>, she accomplished a rare feat \u2014 becoming only the <strong>second Indian woman batter<\/strong> to cross <strong>10,000 international runs<\/strong> across formats (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The epic milestone came when Mandhana needed just <strong>27 runs<\/strong> at the start of the match and achieved the mark with a single to long-on in the early stages of her innings. This landmark places her in an <strong>elite global club<\/strong> of women cricketers, joining <strong>Mithali Raj<\/strong>, <strong>Suzie Bates (NZ)<\/strong>, and <strong>Charlotte Edwards (ENG)<\/strong> \u2014 all of whom have surpassed the 10,000-run threshold in international cricket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her remarkable achievement highlights her <strong>consistency and longevity<\/strong> in international cricket \u2014 spanning more than a decade since her debut in April 2013. Mandhana\u2019s run tally includes impressive contributions across all three formats: <strong>Tests<\/strong>, <strong>One Day Internationals (ODIs)<\/strong>, and <strong>T20 Internationals (T20Is)<\/strong>, where she has been one of India\u2019s most prolific run-scorers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond just the sheer number of runs, Mandhana\u2019s performance reflects her evolution into a <strong>world-class batter<\/strong> known for elegant stroke play, adaptability, and match-winning instincts. Her innings also helped India post the <strong>highest Women\u2019s T20I total ever (221\/2)<\/strong> in the same match, underscoring her positive impact on the team\u2019s success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As vice-captain of the Indian women\u2019s cricket team, Mandhana\u2019s achievement not only cements her legacy but also serves as an <strong>inspiration to aspiring cricketers<\/strong> \u2014 especially young girls across India who look up to her as a role model both on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
