Mithali Raj becomes first woman cricketer to play 200 ODIs

Mithali Raj, India’s ODI captain, became the first woman to play 200 50-over matches when she walked out for the toss against New Zealand Women in Hamilton on Friday. Unfortunately, Mithali Raj was dismissed by Leigh Kasperek for just 9 runs. Mithali already holds the record for the most-capped women’s cricketer. Mithali had achieved the milestone when she played her 192 ODI of the career, going past Charlotte Edwards’ record of 191 appearances. India Women have played 263 ODIs in their history.
