A tally of 132 runs in the recent series has pushed 18-year-old Rodrigues up four spots to second place in the women’s T2oI rankings whole Mandhana – who last week was crowned No 1 in women’s ODIs – also gained four places to sit at sixth after scoring 180 runs against the White Ferns in New Zealand.
Mandhana, also India’s vice-captain, scored two half-centuries in the 0-3 loss. (READ MORE: New Zealand down India in thriller to inflict 3-0 sweep)
