Pratika Rawal Sets Fastest 500 Runs Record in Women's ODIs

India's Pratika Rawal has become the fastest player to reach 500 runs in Women's One Day Internationals, breaking a record previously held by England's Charlotte Edwards since 1997. Rawal achieved this milestone in just eight innings, surpassing Edwards by a single innings, during her impressive 78-run performance against South Africa in a tri-series match in Sri Lanka. Her achievement highlights a strong start to her ODI career, marked by a high strike rate and average, along with several Player of the Match awards. In the same match, India Women posted a commanding total of 276/6, their third-highest ODI score against South Africa, thanks to key contributions from Rawal and other top-order batters. This total sets the stage for a challenging chase for South Africa and underscores the depth of India's batting lineup. Rawal is now poised to challenge further records, including the fastest to 1,000 runs in Women's ODIs.
