Mandhana got to 4,000 runs faster than any other Indian and is the third fastest in the world, taking 17 fewer innings than Mithali Raj did. In 2011, Mithali Raj, who had the most runs in women's ODIs at 7,805, needed 112 innings to get to 4,000 runs.

Belinda Clark from Australia was the quickest to hit 4,000 runs in women's ODIs by doing it in 86 innings by 2003. Meanwhile, on that exact day, the Indian women's cricket team broke another record, by getting their highest power-play score ever at home. When they were trying to reach 239 runs, Mandhana and Pratika Rawal gave India a perfect start with a solid 70-run opening partnership.

Pratika did great with her second 50-plus score in her fourth ODI, and even though Mandhana missed a half-century by just nine runs, they both performed well. In the first 10 overs, India equaled their old record at home with 70 runs. Their excellent performance made India secure an easy victory in the first match against Ireland.
