July 18, 2024 marks the day for a grand celebration for the Indian Cricket Star Smriti Mandhana; however, her 28th birthday celebration goes beyond just the birthday wishes that keep pouring in from across the cricketing world.
She has a lot more to celebrate, as her birthday has apparently come at a time this year when she’s in peak form, having recently led her team to victory in a bilateral series against England.
Her consistently determined performances have proved to be a significant contributing factor in India’s rise in the ICC rankings, and fans are hopeful that the coming year will bring more success for both Mandhana and Indian women’s cricket.
Mandhana, who made her international debut in 2013, has since become that missing jigsaw puzzle piece India really needed. She soon acquired the title of one of the most recognizable faces in women’s cricket, earning her accolades and a dedicated fan following.
The stylish left-handed opener, known for her elegant stroke play and match-winning performances, has been a cornerstone of the Indian women’s cricket team for nearly a decade. As she marks another year, social media platforms were flooded with birthday wishes from fellow cricketers, fans, and cricket bodies.
