Smriti Mandhana has secured her position as the top-ranked batter in women’s ODIs, reaching a career-high rating after a stellar home World Cup performance.
Mandhana, the ace India batter, enhanced her No. 1 ranking by achieving a career-best rating of 828, bolstered by her impressive scores of 109 against New Zealand and an unbeaten 34 against Bangladesh. This places her almost 100 points ahead of Australia’s Ash Gardner, who holds second place with a rating of 731 after climbing six spots, following her match-winning hundred against England.
Mandhana’s remarkable form extends beyond the World Cup, as she was recently named ICC Women’s Player of the Month for September, acknowledging her outstanding performances in the ODI series against Australia.

Indian batter Pratika Rawal, despite missing the rest of the World Cup due to injury, moved into the top 30, now ranked 27th with a rating of 564.
