Indian women's player cements No. 1 spot in latest ICC ODI rankings
The Indian women's cricket team has done an excellent job in the ongoing 2025 season of the Women's World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Most of their players in the batting and bowling have run up in the latest ICC ODI rankings.
India’s veteran left-handed opening batter of the women’s side, Smriti Mandhana, has cemented her place at the number one spot in the latest ICC ODI rankings thanks to 109 against New Zealand and an unbeaten 34 runs against Bangladesh, as he moved to a career-best rating of 828. She now has a lead of nearly 100 points from second-ranked Ashleigh Gardner.
It continues to be a dream run for the Indian southpaw, who was named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for September 2025 for her incredible batting against Australia. The Protea leader, Laura Wolvaardt, has moved up to the top three with a jump of two spots thanks to her innings of 90 and 31.
