Smriti Mandhana Inches Close to Surpassing Shubman Gill’s 2025 Run Record

India’s opening batter Smriti Mandhana is on the verge of creating cricket history. With 1,703 runs across all formats in 2025, the dynamic left-hander has already set the record for the most runs scored by any woman in a single calendar year. However, her achievement doesn’t stop there—she is just 62 runs away from becoming the highest run-scorer of the entire year in international cricket, surpassing Shubman Gill’s impressive tally of 1,764 runs across both men’s and women’s competitions.

Mandhana’s Stellar Performance Across Formats

Mandhana’s remarkable consistency has been instrumental in India Women’s success this season. The opener has demonstrated her prowess in different formats and varying conditions, consistently scoring runs while setting up solid innings for the team. Her ability to adapt her batting approach across Test, ODI, and T20I cricket showcases her versatility as an international cricketer.

Recent Milestone and Career Statistics

Recently, Mandhana etched her name in the history books by becoming only the fourth woman player overall to complete 10,000 international runs, achieved during the fourth T20I against Sri Lanka. In the same match, she scored a explosive 80 off 48 balls, featuring 11 fours and three sixes, helping India post their highest women’s T20I total of 221 for 2. Her career statistics are equally impressive: 629 Test runs at an average of 57.18, 5,322 ODI runs at 48.38 average, and 4,102 T20I runs with a strike rate of 124.22.

As India Women face Sri Lanka in the fifth T20I on Tuesday, Mandhana has the perfect opportunity to chase down those crucial 62 runs and cement her legacy as 2025’s most prolific international cricket run-scorer.
