On Monday, the 12th of March, Lanning will play her 1st ODI in 235 days. Mithali Raj (6,259 runs, 170 innings) may have the most runs in ODI cricket, but Lanning is doubtless considered her successor (2,999 runs in just 63 innings). In the World Cup semifinal, despite India’s huge score, India knew Australia were capable of chasing it down. That stat alone puts her in a different league from her contemporaries, even those with more ODI runs than her. For, in the score of 413 in that warm-up game, Lanning made just 1.
