Top 5 run-getters in women's international cricket

1. Smriti Mandhana - 10,880 runs

Smriti Mandhana is India's vice-captain and an opener who has represented the country across all three formats. She reached the top of the all-time run-scoring chart during India's Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026 fixture against Hong Kong, China at the Dubai International Stadium on September 3 2026. Mandhana scored 124 off 64 balls in that match against Hong Kong, taking her career aggregate to 10,880 runs in 303 international innings. The record-breaking moment came with a hat-trick of sixes off bowler Ruchitha Venkatesh, as she passed Mithali Raj's previous tally of 10,868. The same innings also made Mandhana the leading century-maker in women's international cricket, with 18 international centuries, moving past Meg Lanning and Laura Wolvaardt who each had 17. Her 124 is also the highest individual score in the Women's T20 Asia Cup, surpassing Chamari Athapaththu's previous record of an unbeaten 119 against Malaysia in 2024.
