Richa Ghosh Record 2025
Scoring 1,000 runs in Women’s T20 Internationals (WT20Is) is a significant achievement that reflects both consistency and impact in the shortest format of cricket. Recently, Richa Ghosh became the seventh Indian woman to reach this coveted milestone, joining an elite list of Indian cricket legends who have made their mark on the global T20I stage.
The first Indian woman to achieve this feat was Mithali Raj, known for her classic technique and reliability. She was followed by Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s current T20I captain, who became famous for her aggressive middle-order batting and match-winning innings. Next came Smriti Mandhana, a fan-favorite left-handed opener celebrated for her stylish strokeplay and fast starts.
Jemimah Rodrigues was another young star who crossed the 1,000-run mark early in her career. She became one of India’s youngest batters to do so, followed closely by Shafali Verma, who stunned the world by reaching the milestone at just 18 years old, becoming the youngest Indian ever to score 1,000 T20I runs. Then came Deepti Sharma, India’s dependable all-rounder, who combined her steady lower-order batting with disciplined bowling.
Now, Richa Ghosh has joined this prestigious club, earning attention not just for the milestone itself but for how quickly and aggressively she reached it. With a blazing strike rate above 135, she is one of the fastest scorers among Indian women and is often trusted to finish innings with power and precision.
These seven cricketers have not only brought glory to Indian women’s cricket but have also inspired a new generation of players. Their performances in WT20Is continue to elevate the women’s game globally, and reaching the 1,000-run milestone is a testament to their dedication, talent, and match-winning spirit.
