Mandhana,
who
made
her
debut
back
in
2013,
achieved
the
feat
during
the
second
ODI
of
the
three-match
series
at
the
St
Lawrence
Ground.
Mandhana
scored
40
off
51
before
Sophie
Ecclestone
removed
the
opener.
In
the
first
ODI,
Mandhana
top-scored
for
India
with
a
stroke-filled
91
off
99
to
guide
India
to
a
1-0
lead
over
England.
The
Player-of-the-Match
in
the
previous
game,
Mandhana
achieved
the
feat
in
her
76th
ODI.
Mandhana
passed
India
legend
Mithali
Raj,
who
achieved
the
feat
in
88
innings.
Mandhana
brought
up
her
3000
runs
in
One
Day
International
Cricket
with
at
an
average
of
43+.
Mandhana’s
milestone
saw
her
not
only
become
the
quickest
Indian
women’s
cricketer
to
cross
the
mark,
but
also
the
third
fastest
Indian
to
reach
the
landmark
of
3K,
after
Shikhar
Dhawan
and
Virat
Kohli.
Mandhana
took
one
more
game
than
Kohli
to
reach
the
milestone.
While
Dhana
leads
the
standings
having
achieved
the
feat
in
72
innings,
star
Indian
batter
Kohli
breached
the
mark
in
75
innings.
The
other
two
Indian
women
cricketers
to
achieve
the
feat
are
Mithali
Raj
and
current
skipper
Harmanpreet
Kaur,
who
struck
an
unbeatedn
143
against
England
on
Wednesday.
Coming
to
the
match,
India
entered
the
second
ODI
with
a
1-0
lead.
Mandhana
played
a
crucial
role
in
the
opening
game,
bagging
the
player-of-the-match
in
Hove,
to
guide
India
to
a
seven-wicket
win.
In
the
ongoing
second
match,
England
won
the
toss
and
invited
India
to
bat
first.
Mandhana
got
off
to
a
strong
start,
before
Ecclestone
trapped
her
in
front
to
end
her
innings.
While
Harleen
Deol
added
a
slow
half-century,
it
was
skipper
Harmanpreet
Kaur
who
played
a
blistering
knock
to
guide
India
to
a
strong
total.
Kaur’s
unbeaten
143
off
111
saw
India
post
333/5
in
the
second
ODI.
