India’s star opener Smriti Mandhana has successfully retained the top position in the ICC Women’s ODI batting rankings, underlining her consistent performances in the 50-over format. The left-handed batter has been one of the most reliable players for the India women's national cricket team over the past few years.

Mandhana’s ability to anchor innings as well as accelerate when required has made her one of the most feared batters in women’s cricket. Her recent performances and steady run-scoring have helped her maintain the No.1 ranking despite stiff competition from leading batters across the world.

Jemimah Rodrigues slips to 12th

While Mandhana continues to shine, Indian middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues slipped one place in the latest rankings and now sits 12th in the ODI batting charts.

Rodrigues, known for her aggressive strokeplay and ability to stabilise the middle order, has been a key member of the Indian batting line-up. However, a slight dip in recent performances has resulted in her dropping out of the top ten in the latest update of the rankings released by the International Cricket Council.

Focus on consistency ahead

Players will look to maintain their rankings and improve further. Mandhana will aim to continue her dominance at the top, while Rodrigues will be eager to regain a place among the top ten ODI batters.
