Smriti Mandhana, India\u2019s top-order batter, has risen to second place in the ICC Women\u2019s ODI Batting Rankings, following a phenomenal series against Ireland. Mandhana\u2019s impressive performances saw her accumulate 738 points, narrowing the gap to South Africa\u2019s Laura Wolvaardt, who tops the rankings with 773 points.<\/p>\n
Mandhana, the only Indian player in the top 10, showcased her stellar form in the series, scoring 135 runs in the third ODI, as well as 41 and 73 in the first two matches. Her consistent performances have now put her in a strong position to claim the coveted top spot.<\/p>\n
