Mithali Raj becomes highest run scorer in women’s ODI cricket
India captain Mithali Raj created history on Wednesday when she became the leading run-scorer in women's One Day International (ODI) cricket. She achieved the feat against Australia in the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 match at Bristol. The India skipper's remarkable performance has caught the attention of the entire nation and on Wednesday she added this feather to her cap. Before the start of the match against the Aussie women, Mithali was 33 runs short of England cricketer Charlotte Edwards' 5992 runs in 191 matches.
Not only did Mithali go past the Englishwoman's world record but she also became the first ever woman cricketer to touch the 6,000 ODI runs mark.
