Indian cricket sensation Smriti Mandhana has etched her name in history by scoring the fastest ODI century by an Indian, surpassing cricket legend Virat Kohli’s previous record. Mandhana reached her hundred in just 50 balls during a match against Australia, eclipsing Kohli’s 53-ball century against the same opposition in 2013.
The explosive innings also marks the second-fastest century in women’s cricket history, falling just short of Meg Lanning’s 45-ball record set against New Zealand in 2012. This remarkable achievement adds to Mandhana’s impressive career statistics, bringing her ODI century count to 13. She now stands within striking distance of Lanning’s all-time women’s record of 15 centuries.
