Top 5 run-getters in women's international cricket

2. Mithali Raj - 10,868 runs

Mithali Raj is a former India captain and one of the most decorated batters in women's cricket history. She accumulated 10,868 runs across her international career, a tally that stood as the all-time record until September 2026. Raj reached that mark in 333 international innings, a figure that underlines the consistency she maintained over a long career. She played across all three formats and captained India in numerous major tournaments. When Mandhana broke her record during the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026, Raj publicly congratulated her. Raj's contribution to Indian women's cricket extends well beyond statistics, as she was central to the team's growth over two decades. Her tally of 10,868 runs remains the second-highest in women's international cricket.
