From the Padma Shri to Vogue's Sportsperson of the year, Mithali Raj has won it all. Raj holds the record for the most runs scored in ODIs by a female cricketer. At the tender age of just 14, she was named as one of the probables to be part of the Indian team participating in the 1997 Women's Cricket World Cup to be held in India.

Mithali Raj, although she has not won a world cup, came close in the finals in 2005 and 2017 when on both occasions, she was the captain of the team.

Raj was also the first player, male or female, to score 7 consecutive 50s in One-day Internationals. BBC also mentioned Mithali Raj in their 100 Women List of 2017. As of now, a renowned production house has bought the rights to make a feature film on her life.
