In addition to this feat, Mandhana set a new benchmark for the most runs scored by an Indian woman in a single calendar year, surpassing Deepti Sharma’s previous record of 787 runs from 20 matches in 2017

Smriti Mandhana lit up New Chandigarh on Wednesday with a breathtaking century in the second ODI against Australia. The southpaw reached her hundred in just 77 balls, registering the second-fastest ODI century by an Indian woman.
What makes the feat more remarkable is that Mandhana already owns the record for the fastest ODI hundred by an Indian, a 70-ball blitz against Ireland. With this latest knock, she now holds two of the top three spots on that elite list.
