India's vice-captain, Smriti Mandhana, is one of the most loved athletes. Since making her international debut in 2013, the left-handed opener has become one of the most complete batters in the modern game and has been instrumental in several of India’s memorable victories across formats. Her career has seen her excel in all three formats and score multiple centuries, including a record-breaking fastest ODI century by an Indian in 2025.
Leading from the front, Mandhana captained Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their maiden WPL title in 2024. As she continues to dominate across conditions, she earns the top spot in the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings. Her performances on the field have played a huge role in making her one of the richest Indian women cricketers.
