Smriti Mandhana is on the verge of overtaking Shubman Gill as the highest international run-scorer of 2025 as India prepares to face Sri Lanka in the fifth and final Women’s T20I. The Indian opener has already scored 1,703 runs across formats this calendar year and needs 62 more runs to surpass Gill’s tally of 1,764, which is currently the highest by any Indian cricketer, man or woman, in 2025.
Mandhana’s run haul is already the most by a woman in a single calendar year in international cricket. Her consistency throughout the season has played a major role in India’s dominance in bilateral series. India have already secured an unassailable 4–0 lead in the five-match series against Sri Lanka and will look to complete a clean sweep in the final match.
The milestone chase comes after a landmark fourth T20I, where Mandhana scored 80 off 48 balls, hitting 11 fours and three sixes. Her innings helped India post their highest-ever women’s T20I total of 221 for 2 before sealing a 30-run win. She became the second Indian and fourth woman in history to reach 10,000 international runs during that same game.
Smriti Mandhana Impact Across Formats
Smriti’s career statistics demonstrate her impact across formats. She has amassed 629 runs at an average of 57.18 in seven Test matches, including two centuries and three half-centuries. She has amassed 5,322 runs at an average of 48.38 in 117 ODI matches, including 34 fifties and 14 hundreds. She is the second-highest run scorer in T20Is with 4,102 runs at a strike rate of 124.22 in 157 games.
Gill has had a different year, while Mandhana is getting closer to setting yet another historic record. His recent decline in T20 form has led to his exclusion from India’s 2026 T20 World Cup squad, despite the fact that he currently leads the country’s 2025 run charts.
