Mandhana added to her overnight score of 80 and reached a hundred with a remarkable pull off Ellyse Perry that raced to the boundary. It is also the only second Test hundred by an Indian against the Aussies.
She took 171 balls to cross the triple-digit mark and got out for 127 runs. Though opening day’s play was washed out due to rain, Mandhana survived when she was caught off a no-ball in the 46th over of the innings.
The Goddess of the offside.

1st visitor (non-English) to score a 100 in Aus
All in a #PinkBallTest where the closest to practice before the series was carrying a ball in her kit bag.

Smriti Mandhana goes for an outstanding 127. One of the finest innings you'll see by a Indian women cricketer. She looked solid throughout the innings.
