This development positions her as the premier Indian batter in the 50-over format. Concurrently, India's captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has maintained her ninth position in the rankings.
The reshuffling in the rankings has seen Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu move down to the fourth position, trailing behind Mandhana. However, there has been a positive shift for other Sri Lankan players in the rankings.
Notably, Nilakshika de Silva has climbed three spots to reach the 32nd position, Harshitha Samarawickrama has ascended eight places to secure the 44th spot, and Kavisha Dilhari has advanced four places, now ranking at 50th in the ODI batting rankings.
Furthermore, in the realm of T20 cricket, Mandhana has successfully retained her fourth-place ranking. The T20 rankings have also highlighted significant career milestones for players from other nations.
Sri Lanka's Harshitha Samarawickrama and Ireland's opener Gaby Lewis have achieved career-high positions following their recent performances.
Samarawickrama's innings of 65 runs off 44 balls in the second T20I against Ireland propelled her three places up to the 13th position.
Meanwhile, Lewis's impressive 119 runs off 75 balls in a match-winning performance has elevated her four spots to the 21st position, a career-best that she had previously attained in July 2022.
