List of the top 10 highest individual scores for India Women in ODIs

India women have produced multiple memorable performances with the bat in one-day international cricket, with their leading batters delivering some splendid centuries and match-winning knocks over the years. Beginning from their aggressive opening stands to the strong middle-order shows, the Indian women players have displayed their skill to score big against the strongest opponents in the international cricket. 

One of the most remarkable moments for the blue brigade in this category came from Deepti Sharma against Ireland in May 2017 when she blasted a superb knock of 188 runs in just 160 balls, which still remains the highest individual score by an Indian woman in the 50-over format. His knock was decorated with 27 boundaries and two sixes.

Harmanpreet Kaur also sits at a prominent place on the ladder. Who could forget her incredible knock of 171 runs against Australia during the World Cup semifinal of the 2017 edition? She recorded those runs off just 115 balls, as it remains one of the greatest knock of the Indian women’s cricket history to be etched in the memory lane.

This list reflects the rise of the Indian side’s newer generation of batters. Pratika Rawal slammed a dashing century to make a significant entry in the record books with his 154-run knock against Ireland in January 2025.

Rawal has also been well supported by the youngster, Shafali Verma, while Smriti Mandhana powered many memorable knocks with the bat in opening the batting. They have powered the blue brigade to a record-breaking team total and underlined the growing depth of the side’s batting line-up.
