#1 Most runs in women's ODIs

Mithali Raj stamped her authority as the GOAT in women's cricket

The Indian captain is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest ever batswoman to have graced the sport. In the recently-concluded tournament, she stamped her authority as the greatest of all-time when she overtook former England batter Charlotte Edwards' 5992 runs in ODIs, to become the leading run scorer in the format, during India's group stage game against Australia.

Extra cover: Mithali Raj becomes all-time leading run-scorer in women's ODIs

Mithali achieved the feat when she guided the fourth ball of the 29th over bowled by Ellyse Perry to the fielder at cover for a single. Three balls later, she hoisted Kristen Beams over her head to become the first woman to reach the 6000-run mark in ODIs.

That innings also saw Mithali score her 49th ODI fifty. Though she crossed the 50-run mark against New Zealand in the last group game, she ended the tournament with just 49 fifties as she converted the fifty against the White Ferns, a knock that would have been her 50th fifty, into a hundred.
