Raipur. The captaincy innings of Smriti Mandhana, the new captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, will start from today. Today, the Indian team will face Zimbabwe in its first T20 match after being made the full-time captain of the team. Mandhana has an opportunity to make a world record in this series. A record which no male cricketer has been able to make. Mandhana has an opportunity to complete the figure of 5000 runs in T20 International. Currently he has 4867 runs and he needs 127 runs to reach here.
If she completes 5 thousand runs in this match or series, she will be the first cricketer to do so. Currently she is the highest run scorer in women’s and men’s cricket. Mandhana has played 179 T20 International matches in her career, in which she has scored 4867 runs in 172 innings played. He is 127 runs away from 5000 runs. In such a situation, there is every possibility that she will make this record in this series against Zimbabwe starting from today itself.
It is noteworthy that Pakistan’s Babar Azam has scored the most runs in men’s cricket. Azam has scored 4596 runs in 136 innings. England’s Jos Buttler is at second place with 4384 runs. At third and fourth place are Rohit Sharma with 4231 runs and Virat Kohli with 4188 runs.
