Indian women's team opener Smriti Mandhana celebrates her 24th birthday on Saturday (July 18). Born in 1996, the Mumbai cricketer is a stalwart of the Indian women’s cricket team. The southpaw grabbed the limelight through stellar performances in the ICC Women's World T20 in 2018. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently also named her as the Best Women's International Cricketer. Mandhana, with the rest of the Women's national team, made it to the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia but unfortunately got outclassed by the hosts in the finale of the tournament.
