India’s women’s cricket team played their first One Day International (ODI) in 1978. While the Women in Blue are still chasing their first Women’s ODI World Cup title, they have given the cricketing world some truly remarkable batters over the years.

Reshma Gandhi made history in 1999 by becoming the first Indian woman to score a century in an ODI. Since then, 13 other Indian women have joined the elite list of ODI centurions, with seven of them scoring hundreds more than once—showcasing the growing strength and depth of India’s batting lineup.

In this article, let’s take a closer look at the top five Indian women cricketers who have scored the most centuries in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs).
