Mithali Raj opens up on her legacy

Having taken up the sport at a time when women’s cricket was not considered a profession by many, Mithali reckons that her greatest legacy would be having normalized girls playing cricket on the street.

In a post-retirement interview with PTI, she said:

“I have been asked about my legacy a lot but never came up with a good answer. I think I probably would have normalized girls playing cricket on the street and enrolling into academies. It was not very common when I started playing. They used to say 'we don't take girls in our academies, you take them elsewhere'.”

The legend added:

“Now, there is no academy which can call itself an all exclusive boys academy which doesn't allow girls to play. That gives me a lot of satisfaction. The academy I went to, which I was told was a boys academy, the same place enrols so many girls."

Mithali, 39, ended her stellar international career as the leading run-scorer in women’s international cricket, having amassed 10,868 runs across formats.
