Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal's zealous opening pair emerged as record-holder in women's ODI cricket, who scored more than 1,000 runs in just 12 innings-which is the fastest and unmatched achievement ever globally.
Their partnership began in style during the recent series against England Women. Not only did they establish this milestone, but they also set the highest average (an extraordinary 84.6) among all opening duos with at least 1,000 runs surpassing legends like Caroline Atkins and Sarah Taylor. The duo’s blend of aggression and stability has seamlessly powered India’s top order.
Mandhana, already a renowned figure in batting prowess, found a perfect ally in Rawal. Pratika, making her ODI debut just recently, quickly showcased great temperament and skill. Together, they now rank among the fastest opening pairs worldwide to reach this landmark, a testament to their synergy and mental toughness.
By the second match, they had secured not only their 1,000-run mark but also created a string of high-scoring, sturdy starts. Mandhana’s experience and Rawal’s fearless stroke play have allowed India to start innings on a powerful note, putting pressure on opponents from ball one.
His achievement has raised a wave of enthusiasm in the cricket world. Fans, commentators and former players have highly appreciated the cool accuracy and consistent performance of the pair. Many people are seeing this record as the beginning of a new era in India's women's cricket - an era that will rest on a strong foundation and fearless partnerships.
The most important thing is that this milestone is not limited to data. It is a symbol of the emergence of a courageous partnership, which is going to be the backbone of many successful run chases and series wins in the coming times. As the pair is moving forward, India's dream is to dominate women's cricket globally-now it seems to be even more real.
