Colombo, April 29 -- India top-order batter Pratika Rawal added another accolade to her growing list of achievements, when she became the fastest player to reach 500 runs in Women's One Day Internationals.
In doing so, she has broken the record set by England legend Charlotte Edwards almost three decades back in 1997.
Rawal achieved the feat in just eight innings, and achieved the feat during her brilliant knock of 78 against South Africa in the ongoing tri-series in Sri Lanka. She overtook Charlotte's record by a

India posted 276/6 following a strong batting display in the first innings
This also makes Rawal the second-fastest player, across men's and women's cricket, to achieve the 500-run mark in ODI cricket.
