Cricketer Smriti Mandhana made history on Sunday during the first Women’s T20I against Sri Lanka in Visakhapatnam. She became the first Indian woman to score over 4,000 runs in T20 internationals. Mandhana reached the milestone by scoring 25 runs off 25 balls, becoming only the second woman in the world to achieve the feat after New Zealand’s Suzie Bates.
