Smriti Mandhana: Before Virat Kohli, Smriti Mandhana wreaked havoc in Australia, hit a flurry of fours and sixes

On one hand, while the eyes of the fans are on the superstars of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Jaspreet Bumrah who are preparing for the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia, on the other hand, Smriti Mandhana is also on Australian soil and has already shown her magic before these giants. Smriti Mandhana is playing in the Women's Big Bash League for Adelaide Strikers. This left-handed batsman played a stormy innings against Hobart Hurricanes. Mandhana scored 51 runs in just 32 balls on the Hobart ground. Mandhana's innings was so explosive that she hit a flurry of sixes and fours.

Mandhana batted aggressively as soon as she came to the crease. This batsman took advantage of the powerplay and hit a total of 6 fours and 2 sixes. Mandhana completed her half-century in just 31 balls. Mandhana shared a half-century partnership with opener Katie Mack. Both of them added 67 runs in 45 balls, out of which 51 runs were of Mandhana. Katie Mack was having trouble batting but Mandhana did not let the team's run rate fall. However, Mandhana got out after scoring a half-century. She was caught by Chloe Tyrone off Lauren Smith's ball.

Before Mandhana, South African batsman Lizelle Lee, playing for Hobart Hurricanes, scored an amazing century. Coming to open the innings, this player faced 59 balls and hit 13 fours and 4 sixes.
