Pratika Rawal is poised to set a new ODI record, surpassing legends like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar. The star batswoman for the Indian women’s squad, who has had a fantastic start to her ODI career, has five straight fifties and might reach six in the fourth game of the Women’s Tri-Series, which also includes South Africa and Sri Lanka.
Rawal had five consecutive fifties in ODIs, much like Dravid and Tendulkar. In the forthcoming match on May 4 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, she might defeat the legendary pair by hitting a fifty against Sri Lanka. If they defeat the host team in the next round, India, who are presently leading the points table, will go to the final.
Javed Miandad owns the record for men’s cricket with a total of nine consecutive fifty-plus scores in 1987, while Mithali Raj holds the record for women’s cricket with seven consecutive fifty-plus scores. Raj may be surpassed by Rawal in the rankings of the best ODI hitters.
