Captaining the Indian women’s team in the World Cup after first featuring in the showpiece 22 years ago, Mithali Raj feels her career has come a full circle with only the dream of holding the “elusive” trophy remaining unfulfilled.

“I have come a long way from the 2000 World Cup, that also in New Zealand. It has come a full circle,” Raj said in a video posted by the ICC. “I would look forward to all my players doing well and that will give the Indian team the opportunity to get a hand on that elusive Cup.”
