Career Statistics at a Glance
| Format | Mat | Inns | Runs | Avg | SR | HS | 50s | 100s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | 7 | 13 | 627 | 52.25 | 63.3 | 149 | 3 | 2 |
| ODI | 99 | 99 | 4,728 | 50.84 | 93.3 | 136 | 30 | 13 |
| T20 | 264 | 267 | 7,352 | 30.63 | 132.5 | 114* | 53 | 3 |
Those numbers warrant unpacking. Across all formats, Mandhana has hit 1,571 fours and 241 sixes — a boundary count that underlines her role as a dominant stroke-player rather than an accumulator.
Test Cricket — The Classical Batter
Mandhana's Test record, though limited to seven matches, is remarkable. An average of 52.25 places her among the highest in the history of women's Test cricket. Her highest score of 149 came against Australia, the gold standard of women's cricket, and she has converted starts into big scores consistently — two centuries and three fifties from just 13 innings.
With 106 fours in Test cricket alone, Mandhana's boundary percentage in the longer format is exceptionally high. Her strike rate of 63.3 may look modest by T20 standards, but in women's Test cricket — where scoring rates historically run lower — it marks her as an attacking opener who puts pressure on bowling attacks from ball one.
The 991 balls faced across her Test career tell another story: when Mandhana bats in whites, she bats long. Her dismissals-to-innings ratio (12 dismissals in 13 innings) means she rarely gifts her wicket.
ODI Cricket — The Format She Owns
The ODI numbers are where Mandhana's greatness is most evident. An average of 50.84 across 99 innings places her in the company of the very best in women's ODI history. For context, averages above 50 in women's ODIs are vanishingly rare at this volume of innings.
Thirteen centuries in 99 ODI innings translates to a century every 7.6 innings — a conversion rate that rivals any batter in the women's game. Add 30 fifties, and Mandhana reaches a fifty-plus score in 43.4% of her ODI innings. That consistency is staggering.
Her strike rate of 93.3 demolishes the old notion that high averages require slow scoring. Mandhana scores fast and scores big simultaneously. The 570 fours and 67 sixes in ODI cricket reflect a player who dominates through the arc between cover and mid-wicket, with enough power to clear the rope when needed.
With one more ODI match, Mandhana will join the 100-cap club — a milestone that only a handful of Indian women cricketers have reached.
T20 Cricket — The Global Franchise Star
Mandhana's T20 career spans 264 matches and nine different teams across international and franchise cricket. From representing India to starring for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL, Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes, Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers in the WBBL, and Southern Brave in The Hundred, Mandhana has been a marquee signing wherever franchise cricket operates.
Her 7,352 T20 runs at a strike rate of 132.5 represent the combination of volume and intent that defines elite T20 openers. A T20 average of 30.63 with 53 fifties and 3 centuries means Mandhana produces match-defining innings regularly. The highest score of 114 confirms she can bat deep into an innings without sacrificing tempo.
Breaking down the boundary count: 995 fours and 171 sixes across 5,548 balls faced. That means roughly 21% of balls Mandhana faces in T20 cricket go to the boundary — a figure that places her among the most destructive openers in the format.
Her franchise cricket experience across four different leagues (WPL, WBBL, The Hundred, and domestic) gives her an unmatched exposure to different conditions, tactics and bowling attacks — experience that translates directly into her international performances.
What the Numbers Show
Mandhana's career reveals several distinctive patterns:
Format versatility. An average above 50 in both Tests and ODIs, combined with a T20 strike rate above 130, is extraordinarily rare. Most batters specialise; Mandhana excels everywhere.
Boundary dominance. 1,571 fours and 241 sixes across all formats. Mandhana does not rotate strike and hope — she attacks bowling from the outset in every format.
Consistency over volume. 53 T20 fifties from 267 innings (one every 5 innings), 30 ODI fifties from 99 innings (one every 3.3 innings), and a conversion rate that shows she turns starts into substantial scores rather than pretty cameos.
Opening pedigree. Almost all of Mandhana's innings have come at the top of the order. She faces the new ball, the best bowlers, and the most difficult batting conditions — and still averages over 50 in the two longer formats.
The 12,707 career runs across formats place Mandhana in the upper echelon of all-time run-scorers in women's cricket. As her career continues, the question is not whether she will be remembered as one of the greats, but how high the final numbers will climb.
