India skipper Mithali Raj on Tuesday reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the women’s ODI rankings after more than three years following a stellar show in the three-match series against England. India lost the series 1-2 but Raj hit a half-century in each of the contest.
She struck 72 and 59 in the first two ODIs and then guided India to a four-wicket victory in the final match of the series with an unbeaten 75, gaining four spots to reach the top of the ladder. She last occupied the top spot in February 2018.
The first time she reached No. 1 position was in April 2005 after scoring an unbeaten 91 against New Zealand at the World Cup in Potchefstroom and the difference of more than 16 years at No. 1 is the largest for any woman batter.
