1. Mithali Raj, the captain of the India Women’s National Cricket team.

Skipper, Mithali Raj is only the second women cricketer to score over 5000 ODI runs. She scored 5898 runs in ODIs. On August 14, 2002, she broke Karen Rolton’s record of highest individual test score of 209 not out against England at Headingley in 2001.

Smriti Mandhana has never been dismissed for a duck in an ODI.

When started, she wanted to bat like Matthew Hayden but gradually played it the Sangakkara way, thanks to her timing! Who would believe that at the age of 15, she was to forego her career in cricket for studying science? We are glad she did not do so!

Deepti Sharma, she is only 19 years old and has recently recorded…

The highest individual score for India in Women’s One-day Internationals. She scored a magnificent 188 runs off 160 balls, with 27 boundaries and 2 sixes.
