Mithali Raj made her debut way back in 1999 but even after two decades of international cricket, not much has changed for the Indian skipper. On Friday, Raj achieved the milestone of 200 ODIs but maintained that it is just a number for her.
The 36-year-old legend became the first woman to compete in 200 matches in the ODI format. Reflecting on her performance Raj said, “200 is just a number for me but it feels nice to come so far.”
Raj also gave insights on the areas she thought the current Indian side need to improve upon. Reiterating the need for a seam-bowling all-rounder, she said, “When spinners are bowling, they need more support from fast bowlers.”
“When you have a long career, you have different elements and reasoning that comes into factor”, said a happy Mithali.
