Smriti Mandhana scored her fourth ODI century of 2024 during India's defeat to Australia at the WACA

This remarkable achievement set a new all-time record for the most centuries scored in a calendar year in women's ODIs, according to Wisden

The century against Australia in the third and final ODI marked Mandhana's fourth of the year, following two consecutive centuries against South Africa in June and another against New Zealand in October

Her achievement of four centuries in a single calendar year sets a new record in women's ODIs, surpassing the previous mark held by seven players who each scored three centuries in a year

Mandhana's latest century also elevated her position on the all-time century list in women's ODIs, bringing her total to nine

She is now tied with Nat Sciver-Brunt, Chamari Athapaththu, and Charlotte Edwards in joint fourth place
