All-rounder Harmanpreet Kaur and Suresh Raina round off the top five list.

Kaur enjoys a run tally of 1827 runs at an average of 29 while Raina has 1605 runs scored at an average of 29.18 to his credit. 

Raj became the leading run-scorer in T20 Internationals for Team India, during the second clash of the ICC Women’s World T20 2018 against Pakistan. The 35-year-old cricketer delivered an excellent performance with the bat, scoring a fine 56 off 47 deliveries in an innings comprising of seven boundaries, was adjudged as the Player of the Match. 

She was equally impressive in the clash against Ireland, scoring a fighting half-century on a track which was deemed difficult to bat on, setting the stage for a defendable total.
