It’s a treat to watch Smriti Mandhana playing on the field and her bat never fails in giving some wonderful moments to fans. The same happened in today’s Ind vs Aus women test match that made cricket fanatics go gaga over her once again.
The National Crush of India and opening batter hits a century on the second day of the pink-ball Test. This is Smriti’s first test century in a day-night test match in Queensland, Australia.
No other Indian woman cricketer other than Smriti has succeeded in crossing 100 runs on Australian soil so far. With this, she becomes first and also the 9th player to score three-digit runs in history. Fans call her ” Goddess of off-side”
