#10 Mithali Raj
In a cricket crazy nation like India, this list would have been incomplete without the mention of a cricketer. Indian women’s cricket team captain in Tests and ODIs – Mithali Raj’s exploits on the cricket field have ensured that her name does indeed make the list.
She is the second highest run-scorer in women’s international cricket. Her batting average of 51+ in both Tests and ODIs are a testimony to her talent.
She is nicknamed the “Tendulkar” of Indian women’s cricket and is currently the all-time leading run-scorer for India in all formats of the game (including T20s, a format in which Tendulkar does not hold the record).
