Mithali Raj - The woman who changed Indian Cricket | Mithali Raj Tribute | Abhi and Niyu

In this video, Abhi and Niyu pay a tribute to one of the Greatest Cricketers of All Times - Mithali Raj. The 39-year-old veteran announced retirement from all formats in June 2022 after a long and illustrious career of 23 years. Mithali Raj holds many records such as:

Most Runs in ODIs
Youngest to score a century on Debut
Most ODIs played
Most ODI wins as a captain

One of the greatest woman cricketers, Mithali Raj, on Wednesday announced her retirement from international cricket after a 23-year career. 7805 runs from 232 ODIs, the highest tally in the format, and 10,868 runs in all makes the long-serving Indian captain an icon of the game. Mithali played six 50-over World Cups and led the country to two World Cup finals, in 2005 and 2017.

“I set out as a little girl on the journey to wear the India blues as representing your country is the highest honour. The journey was full of highs and some lows,” Mithali wrote on Twitter. However, a young Mithali started off as a reluctant cricketer.

For many years, the distinct roar of the Ideal Jawa motorbike engine was Mithali Raj’s alarm. As a 10-year-old, a groggy Mithali reluctantly pulled herself out of bed to join her father Dorai Raj and older brother Mithun when they rode to the St John’s Cricket Academy grounds in Secunderabad at 4 am. She wished she was her grandparents’ age, since that would ensure that she, like them, would get undisturbed morning sleep.
