The Indian Women’s ODI team captain Mithali Raj has once again moved to the top of the ICC Women’s Rankings after having an excellent series with the bat against England. Averaging over 50 in ODI cricket, Mithali Raj showed her class with the bat in the England series with three consecutive half-centuries.

The other batters weren’t so consistent and it led to India losing the series 1-2 to England. However, the consistent scores of 72, 59, and an unbeaten 75 to take India home in the final ODI meant that she raised back to the top of the rankings in ODI cricket again. This is also, the ninth time she has occupied the spot in the long career she has had.
