The movie has an intermediate craze among cricket fans. Everyone wants to know the struggle, setbacks, and moments of her life and Mithali Raj’s biopic could surely do justice to it, as the movie is expected to revolve around this concept. Vijay Raaz is playing the role of a lead actor in this movie directed by Rahul Dholakia.
Mithali Raj is the current Indian cricket women team’s captain and has a plethora of astonishing career records scripted on her name.
A Glimpse at Mithali Raj’s Records-
1) She is the first woman to play the sport for more than 22 years.
2) She has captained the most number of ODI matches i.e 149 matches.
3) She has the highest career runs in women’s cricket.
4) Mithali Raj has scored the most number of consecutive ODI fifties. (7 half-centuries)
5) The second fastest women cricketer to breach the mark of 2000 T20i runs.
Mithali Raj’s career cannot be defined in a movie but surely her life can be depicted. How she broke the stereotypes including women playing cricket. She average above 50 in ODI cricket and around 38 in T20i. These are eye-catching figures.
