Smriti Mandhana made her Test debut in August 2014 against England at Wormsley Park. She helped her team to win the match by scoring 22 and 51 in her first and second innings, respectively; in the latter innings, she shared in an opening-wicket partnership of 76 runs with Thirush Kamini, chasing 182.[31][32]

In her five-month recovery period, she missed the World Cup Qualifier and the Quadrangular Series in South Africa.[35] She began the World Cup with a 90 against England in Derby, in the first of the group matches.

Mandhana was born on 18 July 1996 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, to Smita and Shrinivas Mandhana, in a Marwari Hindu family. Her father worked as a chemical distributor, while her mother was a housewife.[10][11][12] When she was two years old, the family moved to Madhavnagar, a suburb of Sangli in Maharashtra, where she completed her schooling. She attended Chintaman Rao College of Commerce in Sangli.[13][14] Mandhana's father played cricket at the district level for Sangli, as did her brother, Shravan, who is now a bank manager. Watching her brother compete in Maharashtra state Under-16 tournaments inspired Mandhana to take up the sport. By the age of nine, she was selected for Maharashtra's Under-15 team, and by eleven, she was picked for the Maharashtra Under-19 team.[13]
Her first breakthrough came in October 2013, when she became the first Indian woman to score a double-hundred in a one-day game. Playing for Maharashtra against Gujarat, she scored an unbeaten 224 off 150 balls in the West Zone Under-19 Tournament, at the Alembic Cricket Ground in Vadodara.[15]
In the 2016 Women's Challenger Trophy, Mandhana scored three half-centuries for India Red in as many games, and helped her team win the trophy by making an unbeaten 62 off 82 balls in the final against India Blue. With 192 runs, she emerged as the tournament's top-scorer.[16]
In September 2016, Mandhana was signed up for a one-year deal with Brisbane Heat for the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), and along with Harmanpreet Kaur, became one of the first two Indians to be signed up for the League.[17] Playing against Melbourne Renegades in January 2017, she fell awkwardly while fielding after bowling the final ball of her over hurting her knee. She was ruled out of the rest of the tournament which she ended having scored 89 runs in 12 innings.[18][19]
In June 2018, Mandhana signed for Kia Super League defending champions Western Storm, becoming the first Indian to play in the league.[20] In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[21][22] In 2021, she was drafted by Southern Brave for the inaugural season of The Hundred.[23] She played for them in 7 games and scored 167 runs before leaving them for India's tour of Australia.[24]
In September 2021, she was named in the Sydney Thunder's squad for the 2021-22 Women's Big Bash League season.[25][26] She scored a hundred in the season, equalling the record for the tournament's highest ever score.[27]
In February 2022, she was retained by Southern Brave for the 2022 edition of the Hundred.[28]
In the inaugural WPL auction held in February 2023, she was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore for ₹3.4 crores, making her the highest-bid player in the auction and was also elected as the team's captain.[29][2] Under her captaincy, Royal Challengers Bangalore won their maiden WPL title in 2024, marking a significant turnaround from the previous season's challenges. Finishing the tournament as the second-highest run scorer, Mandhana played a pivotal role in RCB's successful campaign.[30 |
