Shafali Verma becomes youngest to get 3,000 WT20I runs

The right-handed top-order batter from Haryana needed 7 runs in India’s Women’s Asia Cup 2026 Group A clash against Pakistan in Dubai on Saturday

She is the fastest to reach the landmark in terms of balls faced, reaching 3,000 runs in just 2,182 deliveries

Before Shafali, the record for being the fastest player to score 3,000 runs in Women’s T20Is was held by Australia’s Alyssa Healy

Healy, who retired from international cricket earlier this year, had previously held the record for reaching the landmark in the fewest balls faced

Shafali, who made her Women’s T20I debut for India in 2019, is now the third Indian woman after Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana to score 3,000 runs
