Indian women's cricket vice-captain Smriti Mandhana set a new national record during the first T20 International against South Africa in Durban on April 17, surpassing Rohit Sharma's total to become the highest run-scorer in T20Is (Twenty20 Internationals, the shortest format of international cricket) by any Indian batter. Rohit, who led India's men's team to the T20 World Cup title in 2024, had previously held the record across both men's and women's cricket. The overall record in men's T20Is is held by Pakistan's Babar Azam, with 4,596 runs from 136 innings.
