Women cricket

Another record broken by Beth Mooney but who are the other fastest batters in women's cricket with 2000 runs?

The batter was given a practice bat by batting ace Rahul Dravid, which she later used to smash a double ton for her state in a one-day game and that’s how she burst onto the scene. She represents the new generation of Indian women’s cricketers, a generation that has been at the centre of ad campaigns, endorsements, and central contracts and aggressive cricket. Sarah Taylor, next on the list has scored 2000 runs in 74 innings. Ever since her debut, she has improved her game by leaps and bounds and has significantly contributed to Indian cricket reaching new heights. One of the most notable features of Bates’ captaincy has been the lack of impact on her batting. I am a first year postgraduate student pursuing a MA in Media and Communication Studies at Christ University, Bengaluru. Charlotte Edwards, the English skipper has also scored 2000 runs in 73 innings. During the earlier part of her international career, there were flashes of what she was capable of with the bat, notably in T20Is, which eventually translated to spectacular performances in ODIs as well. The woman with the most runs in the game, as well as the only Indian captain – male or female – to lead the team to two 50-over World Cup finals. Beth Mooney, currently ranked #1 T20I batter in the ICC Rankings has surpassed Stafanie Taylor and has become the fastest to achieve 2000 T20I runs in a mere 67 innings. Suzie Bates achieved the distinction of 2000 runs in her 78th innings. Next on the list is Stafanie Taylor who achieved the 2000 run mark in 68 innings.
