The League has used various formats over the years. In the first season, 2008–09, 28 teams competed in round-robin groups across five zones, Central, East, North, South, and West, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stages. Now the format has changed. The tournament has begun with 28 teams representing state cricket associations, whilst in recent seasons, 37 teams are competing. The 37 participating teams are divided into two groups of eight teams each and three groups consisting of seven teams each.

Railways are the first recorded winners of the tournament, as they beat Maharashtra in the final of the 2009–10 competition by 5 wickets. Railways went on to dominate the competition, winning the next seven titles. They are the most successful team in the history of the competition, winning 10 titles, whilst Delhi and Punjab have won the competition once apiece.

The ongoing five-match T20I series between India and Australia has now reached a thrilling stage with both teams tied at 1-1 with one match abandoned. The Indian team, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, leveled the series with a resounding victory in the third match. Now after winning the third match, the fourth T20I between the two teams will be played on November 6, 2025, which is going to be held at a new venue, Carrara Oval Stadium in Queensland.

After the first game in Canberra was washed out, Australia took a 1-0 lead after winning the second in Melbourne by four wickets. They chased down a 126-run target in 13.2 overs on a spicy track after Josh Hazlewood bowled a brilliant spell with the new ball.

India bounced back commendably in the third T20I in Hobart to restore parity in the series. They made light work of a 187-run target, reaching the score in just 18.3 overs, with five wickets to spare. Washington Sundar played a blinder of an innings after Arshdeep Singh's exemplary three-for on his comeback.

The team that wins the fourth T20I, will ensure they do not lose the series. Consequently, both India and Australia are expected to put in all their efforts to win the fourth match.

India vs Australia 4th T20I Match Prediction

India have the upper hand heading into the fourth T20I after a confident run chase in Hobart. Their batting depth and form in the middle order make them slight favourites to take a 2-1 series lead. Australia remain dangerous at home but will miss key players like Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood, which could tilt the contest in India’s favour.

With another century in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 group stage match against New Zealand, Smriti Mandhana now has extended her lead in the list of Indian players with the most centuries in Women's ODIs. The left-handed opener reached her 14th career century off 88 balls, hammering 10 fours and three sixes-putting up another batting masterclass in a match India needed to win to qualify for the semifinals.

Here is a list of eight women batters with the most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs.

Most centuries by Indian cricketers (WODI)

8. Jaya Sharma | 2 Centuries

Former Indian batter Jaya Sharma was only the second female Indian cricketer to have scored a century in ODI cricket. She smashed two centuries in WODI cricket in her career.

While her first century had come against Pakistan during Women's Asia Cup 2005 in Karachi, she scored another one in a winning effort against Australia in 2007 in Chennai making her the first Indian women to score an ODI century at home.

The left-handed batter could've achieved the milestone a few years before had she converted a couple of nervous 90s into hundreds.

7. Thirush Kamini | 2 Centuries

Former Indian and Tamil Nadu opener Thirush Kamini played for India at a time when women's cricket wasn't really picking up in the country. Regardless, she did well in her limited opportunities and notched a ton twice in her ODI career that spanned 39 matches and scored 825 runs at an average of 25.78.

Kamini's maiden ODI hundred came in India's win over the West Indies in the 2013 ODI World Cup. She stroked a 146-ball 100 to power India to a total of 284/6 in the first innings. India won that match comfortably and Thirush Kamini was rightfully awarded the POTM award.

The 25-year-old smashed 134-ball 122, hitting 3 fours and two sixes along the way. This is Rawal's second WODI century. Both her hundreds have come at home.

Playing her 23rd WODI match, Rawal also surpassed 1,000 runs. She is also the third quickest Indian to score a maiden century in Women’s ODIs. However, before the historic World Cup final, Rawal got injured and could not return for the rest of the tournament.

5. Punam Raut | 3 Centuries

The diminutive Indian batter Punam Raut was one of the pillars in Indian batting along with Harmanpreet, Smriti, Mithali and Veda Krishnmurthy. Punam has recorded three centuries in women's ODI cricket.

Punam smashed one WODI century at a home venue and two WODI centuries at neutral venues. Her highest score in this format is 109 not out against Ireland Women at Potchefstroom during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2017.

4. Jemimah Rodrigues | 3 Centuries

Star batter Jemimah Rodrigues delivered a stunning performance in the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup semi-final, guiding India’s chase against Australia at DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.

With this century, Jemimah has now joined the elite list of most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs. This is also Rodrigues' highest score in Women's ODIs after her 123 against South Africa Women earlier this year.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur | 7 Centuries

Indian Women's Cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is one of the finest batters in Indian women’s cricket history. The right-handed batter has scored seven WODI centuries in her career, equalling Mithali Raj’s record of seven ODI centuries.

Harmanpreet also became the first Indian captain to achieve Women's World Cup title in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025.

2. Mithali Raj | 7 Centuries

Former Indian cricketer and captain Mithali Raj (7805 runs) is still the only player to score 6000 and 7000 WODI runs. The leading WODI run-scorer was the previous record holder for most centuries by Indian cricketers in WODIs.

She recorded seven WODI hundreds in her career.

While Mithali scored three WODI centuries at home, the right-handed batter recorded three WODI centuries at neutral venues and one at an away venue. Her highest WODI knock was 125 not out against Sri Lanka Women at Katunayake in 2018.
