Mithali Raj Created the Record of Becoming the First Woman Cricketer to Play 200 ODIs.

Raj previously shaped the evidence of flattering the majority cap woman's cricketer in the 50-overs format in April last year when she led India as captain against England in the first match of their ICC Women's Championship ODI series. She surpasses former England captain Charlotte Edwards who had played 191 ODIs in her 19-year-career.

Raj made her first appearance for India back in June 1999 for India against Ireland in Milton Keynes, where she scores a victorious 114 to script an enormous 161-runs win for her side.

In her 20-year-long career, the batswoman has to become the foremost run-scorer in the arrangement in the world, with 6,622 runs. She has also led India as skipper 123 times, more than any other captain in the women's ODI. Charlotte Edwards is at second place at 117.

In her career, she has scored 7 tons and 52 fifties, thus having the record of scoring most 50-plus scores in the format.

India has previously won the series by taking an incontrovertible 2-0 lead. The Kiwi skipper Amy Satterthwaite elected to field after winning the toss. Raj scored 9 in 28 balls as India got off to a poor start and went 6 wickets down for 120 in the 35th over.
