One of India most exciting talents, Smriti Mandhana, has scalped the 200 international matches mark. The Indian vice-captain achieved this landmark during India's third and final T20 International (T20I) against Bangladesh in Dhaka, which the visitors have already pocketed 2-0.
Mandhana is the fourth Indian player to scale 200 internationals after Mithali Raj (333), Jhulan Goswami (284), and Harmanpreet Kaur (281). The Southpaw has represented India in four Tests, 77 One-Day Internationals (ODI) and 119 T20 Internationals (T20I), amassing 6,252 runs with six centuries and 49 fifties, having made her debut back in 2013.
The 26-year-old has made a mark in international cricket for her explosive batting, which has led to success in white-ball formats.
Mandhana has also played T20 league cricket in competitions like Women's Big Bash, The Hundred Women, and Women's Premier League (IPL). The left-hander opener leads the Royal Challengers Bangalore in WPL and is the most-priciest (INR 3.40 crore) player in the league.
Sadly, Mandhana could not make her 200th international a grand affair, as the opener fell for 1 against Sultana Khatun.
Despite winning first two T20Is, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side couldn't make it three in a row as Bangladesh bagged a historic victory at Mirpur.
