Indian Women Cricket team opener Smriti Mandhana scored a wonderful century against Australia in a one-off Day-Night test in Queensland. On the second day of play, Smriti Mandhana smacked Ellyse Perry for a four in the 52nd over to reach this milestone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This is also Smriti's first test century. She smacked 18 fours and 1 six and took 170 deliveries to achieve this feat. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mandhana became the first female cricketer to hit a century in a day-night test for India. Before her, Virat Kohli was the only one to achieve this feat. Kohli smashed a century against Bangladesh in 2019 at Eden Gardens. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
One thing particular about this is both Smriti Mandhana and Virat Kohli's jersey no. is 18.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mandhana also became the first Indian female cricketer to make a century in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
