Fourteen-year-old Mumbai opener Ira Jadhav created history on Sunday by becoming the first Indian to score a triple century in U-19 cricket. Playing in the U-19 Women’s One Day Trophy, Jadhav smashed an unbeaten 346 off 157 balls against Meghalaya at the Alur Cricket Ground.
Her explosive innings included 42 fours and 16 sixes, leading Mumbai to a record total of 563/3 in 50 overs—the highest score by an Indian women’s domestic team across all formats and age groups.
With this knock, Jadhav broke Smriti Mandhana’s record for the highest U-19 score by an Indian and became the first Indian to achieve a triple century in a BCCI-organised limited-overs tournament.
Despite being listed in the WPL 2025 auction as one of the youngest players, Jadhav went unsold last month. However, her latest achievement firmly establishes her as a rising star in Indian cricket.
