‘I didn’t know all of this happened’: Mandhana reacts after rewriting history

By Army jaat

**Smriti's Historic Knock Sends India into Asia Cup Semis** 🏏 What a day at the crease! Smriti Mandhana just *wrote* history and honestly, even she was surprised by it all. **The Numbers That Matter:** Smi smashed a blistering 124 off 64 balls, firing India to 193/5, before bowling Hong Kong out for a mere 56 in 16.2 overs — a commanding 137-run win. Shafali Verma gave her early support with a quick 28 off 17. **Records Broken (Without Even Realizing It):** Her century was only her 2nd in T20Is, making her the *only* Indian woman to do so. She slipped past Meg Lanning for the most international centuries by a woman cricketer (18 across formats) and overtook Mithali Raj to become the leading runscorer in women's internationals. Talk about dropping records without looking down! **In Her Own Words:** *"I didn't know all of this happened."* 😄 When asked who she'd dedicate it to, her answer was heartfelt — her family, always closest to her heart. On facing an unfamiliar attack, she kept it real: you just watch the ball, adjust to the pace, and forget everything else. She even laughed admitting full tosses aren't her forte — but lucky for her, she got away with a few today! **What's Next:** India are 2 up from 2 and turn their eyes to a big clash against Pakistan on Sat. This left-hander just keeps rewriting the record books — graceful as ever. 💃 Source: Times of India
