Currently, Mithali is the captain of India’s ODI and Test squad. She is the leading run-scorer in women’s international cricket and she is still going very strong with her bat. The upcoming Women’s World Cup 2022 can be seen as her last dance for the glory after India fell one step short during 2017’s World Cup. Mithali herself is very eagerly waiting for the movie to be released.

Recently, Raj also opened up on how BCCI should currently focus on the World Cup rather than talking of women’s IPL. If the team does well, it will automatically be a huge boost for the team.
“Right now, I feel instead of talking about the IPL, it’s important that we focus on the World Cup as it’s a major event. At the moment it’s important for me to get the team prepared for the World Cup. If the team does well in the World Cup, then it will be a huge boost for the sport in the country and for the domestic players as well,” said Mithali recently as quoted by Cricket.com.
