Mithali Becomes 1st Woman To Complete 20 Years In International Cricket

India captain Mithali Raj on Wednesday became the first woman to complete 20 years in international cricket.

She achieved the feat while leading India to an emphatic eight-wicket win over South Africa in the first One-Day International of the three-match series in Vadodara on Wednesday.

Mithali, who made her ODI debut against Ireland on June 26, 1999, completed 20 years and 105 days in the 50-over format. She, thus, became the only woman to have played ODI cricket for over two decades.
