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.

I STILL BELIEVE SHE IS MASSIVELY UNDERRATED.
SHE'S A LEGEND, PROBABLY BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER CRICKETER simply because apart from facing cricketing and sporting struggles, she also had to practically build the complete face of indian cricket.

My younger brother plays cricket n he always gets inspired by her...n says that he wants to become like her 😇

[abhishekverma]

She's a legend, no one can be as consistent as her. She played for 23 years and still managed to keep 50+ average is commendable

[biplabpattanayak]

She is not Sachin of women's cricket. She is the one and only Mithali.

[SauravKumar-pwop]

Totally i respect her and her dedication towards Cricket is unmatchable. I still remember final match of WC 2017, the way her team played although lost that but they earned respect and then the whole journey of female Cricketers have been changed.

[notyourbasicbitch]

Commendable player she was. Just one word for her "LEGEND"

[prathamsharma]

I 100% agree Abhi and Niyu, because if boys can play why can't girls play?
Girls are also human being then why is there gender discrimination?
I hope player's like Mithali Raj come to play for 🇮🇳 indian cricket 🏏

Goosebumps coming when abhi say's .. ‼️𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐭𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢 ‼️

Thanks for bringing her story in front of us 😊 Because people still ignore women cricket . This video will surely make a change among audience . 👍👍

[jekyll]

I'm not really into cricket, but she was and still is an inspiration for all the women who want to have a career in sports. Take a bow 🔥

[mash]

90's was different and the change started after 90's. There were few women then.
But now the picture has changed and we can see how women are making it in every sector including Sports 😊👍
Kabhi kabhi acche badlaav zaroori hote hai😊

[Shalinikumari-mcpy]

She is a great player 🏏 and inspiration 👏 also... if u don't give up u can achieve ur dreams.... happy for all women player coz many of times they have to fight for their dreams espically those sports which is mostly played by men

[jigarsolanki]

Mithali Raj was an amazing player of Sport. I loved her a lot. When i knew she was retiring... I was shocked as a sports fan. Also, She is a reason our team India are in TOP 4 in all the format.

[rajashreepatel]

True!
Not just in sports but in STEMS and in many other fields where girls were rare before, are now leader there!
Indian society have had great legacies of Brave, Brilliant and Extraordinary womens!
But now it's time to recognise them and their parents as well so that it'll became a example for others to!
Great Efforts!!!🙌🏻
Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳

[Joy_dairies]

As a girl we proud of mathli raj...we love him and lots of respect for her she give every girl so much strength to do what they want to do❤️🇮🇳

[virajkarwarkar]

Please make a video on other sports also like women's football & hockey why should it always be cricket. If you ask an Indian to write sports he will write cricket, in India cricket is a synonym of sport.

I don't know if 99℅ of people will not watch this video because it is about women cricket
But I believe 99℅ people will watch this because it is about Mithali Raj
