Diana Edulji says Smriti Mandhana should be appointed captain of India’s women’s team across all three formats. Both reports link the call to Mandhana’s recent performance in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026.
Edulji points out that Mandhana becomes the leading run-scorer in women’s internationals as she compiles her form in the tournament. She scores a century, making 124 against Hong Kong in Dubai on Thursday, as reported by both outlets.
The two sources align closely on the same basic facts: Edulji’s recommendation, Mandhana’s status as the leading run-getter, and her 124 against Hong Kong at the Asia Cup in Dubai. They do not present differing statistics or alternative interpretations, and neither report includes additional details about selection processes, official decisions, or Mandhana’s prior leadership record.
