Happy Birthday Smriti Mandhana: Wishes flock in as India's fearless batter turns 24 today

Indian women's team opener Smriti Mandhana celebrates her 24th birthday on Saturday (July 18).

Born in 1996, the Mumbai cricketer is a stalwart of the Indian women’s cricket team.

She is considered as one of the best batswomen in the current generation and is even ranked No. 4 in ODI batting rankings and is the only Indian in the top 5 of the list.

She also captained women's IPL team Trailblazers.

The southpaw grabbed the limelight through stellar performances in the ICC Women's World T20 in 2018.

Her 178-run streak in five matches earned her the tournament's third-highest run aggregator.

Since then there was no stopping her as she continued to pile up runs in international and Franchise cricket.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently also named her as the Best Women's International Cricketer.

Mandhana, with the rest of the Women's national team, made it to the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia but unfortunately got outclassed by the hosts in the finale of the tournament.
