The 26-year-old had recently slammed an unbeaten 94 runs against Sri Lanka in the second ODI. Mandhana (84 innings) is also the second-fastest Indian woman to reach 2,000 T20 runs after Mithali Raj (70).
Mandhana will look to be consistent and continue her exploits throughout the Games. She is expected to play big innings and provide the perfect platform for India's middle order to showcase their skills.
