Smriti Mandhana, 28, is rightly considered one of the best batters in women's cricket.

In 2024, she scored 1,659 runs - the highest ever total in women's international cricket in a calendar year. That included four ODI centuries - again a record for a female cricketer.

She was the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team that won the 2024 Women's Premier League.

Mandhana was the winner of ICC Women's cricketer award in 2022 and 2018.
