A small goal already achieved, Indian women's team opener Smriti Mandhana has now set her sights on winning a World Cup title with the national team. Mandhana became the No. 1 ODI batter in the ICC Women's Rankings last month following her exemplary run of form.
Mandhana, who will lead India women in the three-match T20 series against England starting here today, said her goal now is to stay at the top and win a World title. "As a kid when you start playing, you always think of winning the World Cup. Obviously, there are individual targets like, getting to ICC World No. 1 spot. And reaching there, I was really pleasing but now I have to work even harder. To stay there is much more important than getting there," said Mandhana, who replaced injured Harmanpreet Kaur as the T20 captain.
