Ellyse Perry’s 1000 runs in all three formats is a milestone very few players in women’s cricket have reached. The Australian all-rounder entered the IND W vs AUS W one-off Test 2026 needing only a few runs to complete the mark and achieved it during Australia’s first innings at the WACA.
The record makes Perry the first Australian woman and only the second player globally, after Charlotte Edwards, to score 1000 runs in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is.
Ellyse Perry Joins Elite Multi-Format Run Scorers
Ellyse Perry entered the match needing only a few runs to complete 1000 Test runs. She crossed the mark during Australia’s first innings against India Women at the WACA.
This milestone places Perry alongside former England captain Charlotte Edwards in the small group of women cricketers who have scored more than 1000 runs in all three international formats.
The achievement also carries significance within Australian cricket. Perry is now the seventh Australian cricketer in international cricket history to reach this multi-format run benchmark. Such numbers underscore her long tenure on the national side. Perry debuted internationally in 2007 and has remained one of Australia’s most dependable all-rounders.
IND W vs AUS W One Off Test 2026 Match Situation
The milestone occurred during a match in which Australia held the early advantage. India Women were bowled out for 198 in the first innings. Annabel Sutherland led the attack with 4 for 46. Australia responded strongly with 323 all out, taking a lead of 125 runs.
Sutherland then produced the defining innings of the match with 129 from 171 balls. Satghare claimed 4 for 50 to keep India’s bowling effort competitive. India’s second innings began under pressure. Mandhana, Shafali, Rodrigues, and Harmanpreet were dismissed early as India slipped to 64 for 4.
Pratika Rawal remained unbeaten on 30, with Deepti Sharma at the crease. India still trailed Australia by 59 runs at that stage. Within this match context, Ellyse Perry’s 1000 runs in all three formats become another indicator of her sustained impact on international cricket.
