5 best female cricketers of all-time

#2 Mithali Raj

The stalwart and the face of women's cricket in India – Mithali Raj is one of the greatest cricketers to ever play the game. Hailing from Hyderabad in India, the aggressive batswoman shot into the limelight when she scored a staggering 214 against England in 2002.

She is often lauded for her resilience at the crease and her ability to adapt to all conditions. Mithali led her team to the World Cup final in 2005 and 2017 but ended up, unfortunately, losing to Australia and England respectively.

She is revered for her level-headedness on the field, leading India to four consecutive Asia Cup titles. She is the reason for the meteoric rise of women's cricket in India.
