India’s New Record Holder: Smriti Mandhana Smashes Fastest ODI Hundred

There is a new record break in the cricket world for India! Smriti Mandhana has set the cricketing world alight with a breathtaking display of batting brilliance. In the third ODI against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Smriti shattered records!

Smriti Mandhana Shatters Record with Fastest Indian ODI Hundred in 50 Balls:

Smriti Mandhana has just set the cricketing world on fire. In a high-voltage clash against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the Indian opener smashed her way to a breathtaking hundred in only 50 balls. With this, she has become the fastest Indian (man or woman) to score a century in One Day Internationals.

Her innings wasn’t just fast, it was explosive. She struck 17 fours and 5 sixes, racing to three figures with a mix of precision and sheer power. It came while chasing a mammoth target of 413, adding even more weight to her performance.

Why This Century Matters

A Historic First for India
No Indian before Smriti has ever scored an ODI hundred this quickly. For years, Virat Kohli held the record with his 52-ball ton against Australia back in 2013.

Boost for Women’s Cricket
This isn’t just a personal record. It shifts perception. Smriti Mandhana now holds the fastest Indian ODI hundred across genders, showing the growing firepower and confidence of women’s cricket.

Globally, Mandhana’s effort now stands as the second fastest century in women’s ODI cricket history, just behind Meg Lanning’s 45-ball whirlwind against New Zealand in 2012.

Cricket history has witnessed many iconic knocks, but this one is set apart by the barriers it breaks and the doors it opens. India didn’t just see a century. It saw the future of cricket unfold.
