Smriti Mandhana vs Rohit Sharma - comparing their ODI stats after opening in 107 matches

India Women opener Smriti Mandhana scored a sensational 125 off only 63 balls against Australia Women in the third ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, September 20. The knock featured 17 fours and five sixes as the Women in Blue briefly gave Australia Women a scare in a massive chase of 413. Team India eventually finished on 369.

Although Mandhana's brilliant knock failed to take India over the line in the third ODI against Australia, she did break a number of records. The left-handed batter reached her hundred off only 50 balls. She now holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian cricketer. The previous record was held by Virat Kohli, who smashed a 52-ball ton against Australia in Jaipur in 2013.

In Women's ODIs, Mandhana's 50-ball century is the second-fastest ever. Former Australian captain Meg Lanning (45 balls) holds the record for the fastest century in ODIs in women's cricket. Also, Mandhana has 13 one-day tons and is now joint-second on the list of women batters with most ODI hundreds. New Zealand's Suzie Bates also has 13, while Lanning is on top the list with 15.

Mandhana has so far played 108 ODI matches and has opened in 107 matches. Following her superb knock against Australia in Delhi, we compare her one-day stats with that of Rohit Sharma after the latter had also opened in 107 one-day matches. [Rohit batted in the middle-order during the early part of his ODI career].
