ICC honors Smriti Mandhana as the ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year 2024

In a stellar year, the Indian opener amassed 747 runs in 13 matches at a remarkable average of 57.46, including four centuries and three fifties. 2 This included a historic feat – becoming the first batter to hit four ODI hundreds in a calendar year for women. Her consistent brilliance, exemplified by back-to-back centuries against South Africa and a century against Australia, played a crucial role in India’s success. This recognition, along with her inclusion in the ICC Women’s ODI and T20I Teams of the Year, solidifies Mandhana’s position as one of the world’s leading batters and a key figure in Indian women’s cricket.
