The Indian Women’s team has been growing rapidly in the cricketing world and we have seen a lot of talented cricketers in the setup. The number of great batters and bowlers we have seen getting a lot of attention is great to see right now which was missing back in the day. We can safely say that the legacy of players like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami is being carried by this new generation of players right now.
One of the modern-day greats of Indian women is none other than Smriti Mandhana. The top-order batter has been one of the high-ranking players in International cricket with over 7534 runs in her 228 matches. Mandhana is also averaging well in Tests and ODI’s, but there are still some questions regarding her performances in T20I’s. However, there have been some great knocks in this format which we will be talking about right now.
So, here are the top 3 batting performances by Smriti Mandhana in T20I:
3. 83(55) vs Australia in 2018
This was a big match for the Indian Women’s team and they were up against Australian Women in the T20 World Cup.

This was one of the most thrilling T20 matches in T20 cricket where it seemed like India were running away with the game once again and that is all thanks to Smriti Mandhana who played another beautiful knock of 86 from 62 deliveries that almost took the team over the line. Unfortunately, it was the Kiwi bowlers who managed to put the brakes on the scoring. However, this was still another great knock by Mandhana that kept her side in the game.
