Former India T20I Captain Mithali Raj announced her retirement from T20 Internationals, yesterday. Mithali led India in 32 T20Is, including three Women’s WT20 World Cups in 2012 (Sri Lanka), 2014 (Bangladesh) and 2016 (India).

She was also the captain, when India played their first ever women’s T20 International in Derby in 2006.

In 89 T20 Internationals, Mithali scored 2,364 runs, the most by an Indian woman in T20Is, including 17 50s, with a career-best of 97 not out. Mithali, who continues to be India’s ODI captain, played her last T20I against England on March 9, 2019. She is also the first Indian to reach the landmark of 2,000 T20I runs.
