It is a pretty strong Indian team having the likes of experienced players like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami. While Mithali is the leading run scorer in Women’s cricket, Jhulan leads the chart when it comes to most wickets. There have been a few changes, but the core of the team remains the same. Their recent series victory in South Africa will be a morale booster for them ahead of the Tri-Series.
