Mithali Raj is the equivalent of Sachin Tendulkar in the women’s cricket. The right-handed batswoman has broken almost every Indian batting record that existed and has won India numerous ODI matches and Tests single-handedly. With a batting average of 51 both in Tests and ODIs, Mithali Raj’s achievements on the cricket field are applaudable.

But the last month has been the lowest phase of Mithali Raj's career with the batswoman being accused of throwing tantrums, disobeying team orders and threatening to quit by the coach and team management. The altercation between the two parties saw Mithali Raj, who had scored two match-winning fifties in the Women’s World T20, being dropped from the team for the World T20 semi-final against England. India went on to lose the match by 8 wickets and questions were asked if Mithali Raj’s exclusion from the team was the reason for the loss.
