India's Smriti Mandhana has set the record for the most international runs in a calendar year in women's cricket.

With a brilliant 91 against West Indies in the first ODI in Vadodara on Sunday, the left-hander crossed 1,600 runs in 2024. Mandhana's 1,602 across all formats has overtaken South African Laura Wolvaardt's 1,593 runs. Mandhana can extend the record further as India play two more ODIs against the Windies before New Year.
