Mithali Raj on the relentless courage of breaking boundaries

The conversation began with Sharlene asking Mithali Raj about what she felt when girls play cricket today because she pioneered the way.

When questioned by Sharlene on the support that she received, Mithali mentioned several challenges that came with choosing cricket, but she was supported by her school in many ways. Taking that further, she also mentioned a time before her standard 12th board exams, when her parents coaxed her to choose World Cup selections over examinations, in 2000.

Discussing the Rising profile of women’s cricket in India, Mithali said that there have been many improvements from 2005 to 2017, from training to access to amenities, and even sports psychologists.

She also spoke about the jolt she faced when India was eliminated while playing against South Africa in ICC Women's World Cup 2022. Emphasizing the importance of self-control over mental and emotional aspects of one's being, Mithali stressed the need for a strong and sturdy mindset.

Sharlene and Mithali also briefly spoke about the upcoming movie based on Mithali Raj.
