In a breathtaking display of skill, 14-year-old Ira Jadhav hit an unbeaten 346 off 157 balls to lead Mumbai to a massive 563 for 3 over Meghalaya in the Women’s Under-19 One Day Trophy at Alur.
Jadhav’s blazing innings included 42 boundaries and 16 sixes, resulting in an incredible strike rate of 220.38. Her outstanding effort laid the groundwork for a devastating 544-run victory when Meghalaya slumped to 19 all out, with six players removed for ducks.
Jadhav’s innings included a 274-run partnership with skipper Hurley Gala, who contributed 116 off 79 balls, while Jadhav scored 149 off 71 balls in the stand. She followed up with a 186-run partnership with Diksha Pawar, hitting 137 off just 50 balls. The onslaught resulted in three Meghalaya bowlers allowing more than 100 runs each.
In 2010, Lizelle Lee of South Africa scored 427 not out in a women’s U-19 match, but Jadhav’s inning is currently the most by an Indian. She’s on India’s U-19 T20 World Cup standby list for Malaysia after failing to sell in the WPL 2025 auction.
