Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana smashed a glorious hundred in pursuit of a massive 413 against Australia in the decisive third ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, September 20. By striking a 50-ball ton, the left-handed batter also broke Virat Kohli's for the fastest hundred by an Indian cricketer in ODI cricket. Kohli had done so in 52 deliveries.The moment came in the 18th over of the innings, bowled by leg-spinner Alana King. As King tosses the ball up, the southpaw got down to one knee and clobbered a six, thereby notching up a 50-ball ton. It is also the second-fastest ton in women's cricket, behind ex-Aussie skipper Meg Lanning's 45-ball century. She has also equalled Suzie Bates for the most tons in women's ODI cricket with 13.Watch the video of the shot that helped Mandhana complete her ton:Furthermore, Mandhana, the first Indian women's cricketer to score back-to-back ODI centuries, became the first to do it twice after England's Tammy Beaumont.Australia edge ahead in Delhi after picking up crucial India wicketsSmriti Mandhana perished for 125.
