Sri Lanka’s captain Chamari Athapaththu created historical past on Tuesday when she grew to become the primary Sri Lankan girl to be honoured with World No.1 rating in the ICC Batting charts. Athapaththu’s fabulous knocks in Sri Lanka’s historic sequence win over New Zealand have paid off in an enormous approach as she makes a large leap in the ODI rankings to dethrone the Aussie star Beth Mooney from the head spot. She is just the second from her nation alongside former males’s participant Sanath Jayasuriya to take the top spot in the ODI batting charts.
Athapaththu ended the three-game sequence with 248 runs towards her title together with two centuries. She was by a good margin the top scorer in the sequence which was Sri Lanka ladies’s first ODI sequence win over the White Ferns. Athapaththu made 140* in the primary ODI in simply 80 balls and 108* in the third one. The Sri Lanka captain was a sufferer of a golden duck in the second outing.

On her six place rise from No.7, Athapaththu has left behind many different huge names. She has leapfrogged Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Meg Lanning, Natalie Sciver, Laura Wolvaardt and Beth Mooney in a single leap.
