India women's batter Smriti Mandhana's stock has never been higher, with TIME magazine naming her as the only Indian in its list of 100 most influential sportspersons.

Describing her achievements, TIME wrote: "She's the first Indian woman to score a double ton in a domestic one-day game, the first to score a century in three international formats, and is a joint holder of the most international women's cricket tons (17)."

Mandhana, who is part of a list that includes Lebron James, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, will be looking to add more silverware to her collection at the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup.
