NEW DELHI: Mithali Raj, one of the greatest female cricketers to have played the game, on Wednesday announced her retirement from all forms of international cricket, having made a significant contribution in popularising the women's game during a storied 23-year-long career.
Having started playing for India in 1999 as a 16-year-old, Mithali grew to become one of the all-time greats of the game.
The trailblazer ended her glorious career with a record 7805 runs from 232 ODIs, the most in the format. With an overall tally of 10868 runs, she is also the leading run-getter in women's cricket across formats.
The 39-year-old featured in 89 T20 Internationals and even though she got to play only 12 Tests in her long career, she managed to score a double hundred and remains the only woman cricketer from India to do so in the longer format.
