Harmanpreet Kaur became only the third Indian woman to score 4,000 One Day International (ODI) runs during the third and the final match against England at Riverside Ground in Durham on Tuesday.
Batting at No 4, she also registered her seventh ODI century to help India score 318/5 in the first innings. The skipper reached the milestone off just 82 balls, the second fastest century for an Indian in the format.
The 36-year-old joined her deputy Smitha Mandhana and the legendary Mithali Raj in the 4,000-run club. She crossed the 4,000-run mark in her 149th match (in 129 innings).
Kaur also entered the history books by becoming only the second Indian after Mithali Raj to score 1,000 ODI runs in England. She has three centuries and five half centuries in 30 matches she has played in the country.
Only six batters—Belinda Clark, Karen Rolton, Mithali Raj, Debbie Hockley, Charlotte Edwards, and Harmanpreet—have scored more than 1,000 ODI runs in a country away from home.
The middle-order batter made her ODI debut against Pakistan in the 2009 World Cup and is India’s most capped international player, appearing in 337 matches.
Her highest score in ODIs remains her unbeaten 171 off 115 balls against Australia, which she scored during the 2017 World Cup semifinals.
