I WAS MOVED READING THE HARDSHIPS FACED BY THIS GREAT WOMAN CRICKETER'S PARENTS,IN SHAPING HER CAREER AND WHICH HAD MADE HER AN INEVITABLE FORCE IN WORLD OF WOMEN'S CRICKET,MY SALUTE TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HER RISE,AND MY BEST WISHES TO SOW.MITHALI RAJ TO GO TO GREATER HEIGHTS IN THE DAYS TO COME.
Mithali is as good or even better than fellow male prodegies like Sachine, as she had to face society as a girl. And we know what it is in India. The game was neither lucrative then.
Thanks for providing us moments of pure cricket through the bat of Mithali.
The article is wonderfully chronicled. It is not merely a narrative of how she was introduced to cricket and how she made it big. Apart from these, it is a story of hard work, sacrifice and determination. I have no doubt that it will inspire a lot of girls, especially from the middle class, to pursue their interests with undivided determination. It is also a very emotional and challenging narration of how a family can stand up to the demands if you are looking at greatness in the long run. Very inspiring indeed!!!
Hats of to Mithali. Great going. Keep it up. My grand daughter also likes to sleep a lot. Every little opportunity she gets she falls asleep. Be it in the car while going to school or anywhere else. I have to tell her about Mitali Raj and encourage her to pursue her athletics where she always comes back with a gold medal. She is also a scholar badge holder in her school. Both can go simultaneously.
