Pratika Rawal, an Indian cricketer, made history by hitting 444 runs in her first six ODI innings, being the first player, male or female, to do so. The previous best was set by Tom Cooper of the Netherlands, who scored 392 runs, while Thailand’s Natthakan Chantham set the women’s record with 322.
The record-breaking performance occurred during the third One-Day International versus Ireland at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. India, who had previously won the three-match series 2-0, put up a convincing performance, scoring 435/5 in 50 overs, their highest Women’s ODI total to date. Pratika, who opened alongside captain Smriti Mandhana, had an outstanding innings, scoring a century and playing a key part in India’s domination.
The teenage opener’s consistent performance in her debut series has moved her to the top tier of cricketers. Her astounding feat demonstrates her potential as a future star of Indian cricket. India’s strong performances in this series reinforce their growing strength in women’s cricket, and they hope to finish the series with a sweep.
Pratika’s record-breaking start is both a personal achievement and a reflection of the growing standards in Indian women’s cricket.
