Star Indian batter Smriti Mandhana has climbed to the third spot in the latest ICC Women's T20I rankings, following her phenomenal century against England in the opening match of the ongoing five-match series. Already holding the top position in ODI rankings, Mandhana's consistent performances are solidifying her place among the world’s best across formats.

Her maiden T20I hundred, which came in a high-pressure chase, not only earned India a win but also showcased her evolution as a dependable match-winner in the shortest format. With elegant strokeplay and aggressive intent, Mandhana’s innings earned widespread praise from former players and fans alike.

This recent leap in the T20I rankings makes her one of the few players to hold top-three positions in both ODIs and T20Is simultaneously. With the series against England still underway, she has a strong chance of climbing even further - possibly eyeing the No. 1 spot.
