Hope To Win My 'Last World Cup' In 2021: Mithali Raj

Mithali Raj is in twilight zone of her career. But she has already contributed enough of the national team in her decorated career and which will be taken as an inspiration for the next generation of cricketers. Mithali Raj is the most capped women’s player in ODIs and still has a bit of service left to do for the national team.

Raj, with 6888 runs to her name, is also the highest run scorer in Women’s ODI. She has scored these runs in her long and successful career spanning from 1999 at an average of 50.64. She has the high score of an unbeaten 125 with seven centuries and 53 half-centuries to her name.

Mithali Raj: I hope to win the World Cup, which will be my last

The 2021 Women’s World Cup is slated to take place between February 6 and March 7 in New Zealand. Mithali Raj has set her sights on it, especially because it will be her last. She also added that, women’s cricket has grown a lot in the past few years, and winning the World Cup will be a big boost for the team.

“I also hope we win the World Cup, which will be my last. Women’s cricket in India has improved a lot and has a bright future. But if we win the World Cup it will be a big boost for women’s cricket in the country. I hope we go one step ahead in the 50-over World Cup this time,” Mithali Raj said on Salam Cricket 2000.

It is, however, not certain when Raj will be seen in action again due to the novel coronavirus pandemic situation across the globe.
