Former captain Mithali Raj believes that if India takes the rhythm in his favor by taking advantage of important occasions during the big matches in the upcoming women’s ODIs, then it can end the drought of the long -running title.
The host India will land as a strong contender to win the tournament with Australia and England in the next month’s World Cup. The Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur is looking for its first world title as it has missed the final of 50 -over format twice.
Mithali said to ‘ICC Digital’, “I think (India) needs to take advantage of those small occasions during big matches.” He said, “This is the balance that is between the claimant teams.” She tries to use those opportunities more and more in her favor and India needs to take advantage of those opportunities.
Mithali, who won India to the World Cup final in the year 2005 and 2017, believes that winning the title will have a revolutionary impact on women’s cricket in the country.
He said, “I think it will be a big deal. I mean this is such a thing that all the players, whatever bat, whoever wants to represent the country, would like to win the World Cup because India has not done so yet.
Mithali said, “Yes, we have reached close twice but have not been able to win the cup yet. Winning the World Cup on the home ground would be very good because it is a completely different platform. ”
In India’s recent limited overs tour of England, young Kranti Gaur and Mr. Charani made their mark, and the team won both T20 international and ODI series.
Mithali is particularly affected by the 22 -year -old fast bowler revolution. He said, “I was greatly influenced by Kranti Gaur’s talent in England.” Mithali said, “She has played WPL (Women’s Premier League) but does not have that much experience.”
The former Indian captain said, “But as a fast bowler she tries constantly and tries to take wickets, she is impressive and she (in England) has taken six wickets, so I would like to see her playing in the domestic World Cup.”
The Women’s World Cup is starting from 30 September in which India will start its campaign against co -host Sri Lanka.
