New Delhi: Indian women's team skipper Mithali Raj registered another record to her name – probably the biggest of all – by becoming the all-time top-scorer in women's ODI cricket during the ICC Women's World Cup clash against Australia at Bristol, England. (IND vs AUS - Live Blog)

Soon after Mithali broke England's Charlotte Edwards' record of 5,992 runs, the Indian skipper went on to cross the 6,000-run mark while also bagging her 49th ODI fifty and third of the tournament.

Here's the moment Mithali made history in women's cricket:-

Earlier, Mithali clinched the record of scoring seven consecutive fifties in ODIs, achieving the feat with a terrific knock against England in the Women's World Cup last Saturday. 

Apart from this, Mithali has the maximum number of ODI half-centuries (49) to her name.

The 34-year-old, who made her debut at the age of 16, has often been compared with Sachin Tendulkar for the similarities in both legends' record-breaking abilities.

Mithali was dismissed on 69 by Kristen Beams in the 41st over as India went two down for 166.
