One of the most celebrated women's cricketers in the world, Mithali Raj has numerous records to her name and a life worthy of a book. The cricketer recently announced on Twitter that her life and times will be chronicled in her autobiography that will hit stands later this year. Publishing house Penguin India acquired the rights to publish her autobiography and scheduled to release it this year. “Yep! It's happening! Excited!” she tweeted.
The agency earlier released a statement saying, “Not only will it (autobiography) be a treat to cherish for her cricketing fans, but also be a captivating story of how an ordinary girl went on to inspire real change and made the world sit up and take notice.” Raj recently became the first Indian to score 2000 runs in T20Is. With 6373 runs to her name, she is the highest-run scorer in the history of women's ODIs. She's also holds the record for slamming seven consecutive fifties in the 50-over format of the game.
