Mandhana was also named the ODI Player of the Year 2018 by ICC.

Mandhana is the third-fastest to reach 1000 runs in T20Is. She ranked as the tenth-fastest female batter do so.

The senior player has amassed more than 5000 runs across all three formats of the cricket.

Smriti became the youngest Indian player to be named captain of the Indian national team in T20Is. She was just 22 years and 229 days then. She is currently India's vice captain.

She is the only woman cricketer to have won the ‘Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Award’ twice, besides Australia’s Ellyse Perry.
