Mithali Raj Gives Strong Response To A User On X Who Attempted To Troll Her On ODI Mindset

Former India Women’s National Cricket Team captain Mithali Raj responded firmly to a social media user who attempted to criticize her for her defensive mindset in ODI cricket. Mithali Raj delivered a strong and impactful reply, shutting down the user’s attempt to troll her.

The recent World Cup 2023 warm-up match between Rohit Sharma’s team and Jos Buttler’s side was washed out due to rain. The hosts won the toss and chose to bat in Guwahati on September 30. Unfortunately, not a single ball could be bowled at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium.

Speaking before the start of the match between India and England, former England batter Kevin Pietersen stated that the Indian cricket team should aim for 350 runs.

Journalist Shashank Kishore took to X to state that Mithali Raj was happy with a score of 280 in ODI cricket and Kevin Pietersen wanted the team to reach at least 350 runs. He captioned his post “ODI mindset in a sentence,” while adding the quotes of the two former cricketers. Raj responded to the tweet, stating that the tweet reflected his mindset more than hers.

The only “mindset” reflected in this tweet is yours. https://t.co/UbajRAGfIb
