The Mumbai-born has 4 hundred and 18 half-centuries in Women's ODI, while 12 half-centuries in 78 WT20I matches. Answering which innings she would like to redo, Mandhana said, “I’ve got out for 70s and 80s so many times in my career. I wish I could go back and convert those into hundreds."

Mandhana picked her teammate Harmanpreet Kaur as the messiest player in the Indian team after herself. She called Kaur her competitor in being the messiest. 

“I’d say me. If I take anyone else’s name, people are going to get back at me. But I think Harman and I have a good competition at this. But both of us have gotten better. We have also spoken about keeping our rooms clean", she said.
