Smriti Mandhana overtakes Mithali Raj, becomes Indian player with most centuries in women's ODIs

Smriti Mandhana registered her name in the record books with her 8th ODI century in the series decider against New Zealand on Tuesday. The star opener set the platform for India in the 233-run chase as the hosts won the match by 6 wickets and clinched the series 2-1.
With a 100-run knock, Mandhana pipped legendary Mithali Raj and became the Indian women's player with the most centuries in ODIs - 8. Before the match, Mandhana and her former skipper Mithali were tied at 7, but the left-handed batter rose on the occasion and achieved the big feat and, at the same time, helped India win the series. Meanwhile, she is still far behind in the overall tally as Meg Lanning is leading the charge with 15 tons.
