Smriti Mandhana achieved a historic milestone during the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final against South Africa in Navi Mumbai, breaking Mithali Raj’s record for the most runs scored by an Indian batter in a single edition of the tournament. Mandhana reached 416 runs, surpassing Raj’s 409 from 2017. Her blistering partnership with Shafali Verma gave India a strong start, crossing fifty runs within seven overs.
