New Delhi: Former Indian captain Shantha Rangaswamy on Sunday named Mithali Raj “Sachin Tendulkar” from Cricket female and said his record as the highest runner in the game was here to stay.
Mithali, who has been running a leading getter in Odis, on Saturday beyond the former British captain Charlotte Edwards to become the highest getter throughout the format.
They are the only cricketers of women who have more than 10,000 runs.
Indian tests and the average ODI captain were shocking 51.80 in a 50-over format.
“The note speaks for themselves.
What he has achieved is comparable to the achievement of Sunil Gavascar and Sachin Tendulkar who are great.
It is safe to say that he will be lonely mentioned above for a long time.
I did not see the record damaged in the near future,” Shantha, which is also a member of the BCCI Apex Board, told PTI.
Mithali scored fourth in a row half a century on Saturday to lead India for victory overflow over England in the third odi.
Along with the rest of the batting arrangement, the level of the attack was also questioned but Shantha felt that criticism was inappropriate.
“The level of strikes only appears in the picture when you do well as a batting group.
Yesterday’s restrictions, he hardly had support in the series.
If he doesn’t exist, the team will struggle to reach even 200,” The former Indian captain said.
In India’s batting tripse, Shantha felt the all-rounder Deepti Sharma could be number three good, the position occupied by Pamam Raut in the opening match before Rodrigues replaced her for two remaining matches.
However, the 20-year-old also failed to make an impact and an average of less than 20 in 21 ODIS.
“He is still very young.
I would say the time to see surpassed it if he was 10 years older.
I hope he immediately finds a run,” Shantha said to refer to the shape.
“I also feel (Poonam) Raut, who does it very well against South Africa, must be returned but if they really feel you will change the number 3 slot, Deepti is a good choice.” In India T20 Skipper HarmanPreet Kaur, who did not have much to be shown since exploitation at the 2017 World Cup, Shantha added: “He has not yet realized his potential.
He needs to overcome his choice.” If he can find a way to bat for 25-30 overs, he can print a hundred.
He was a good player but his slim patch lasted too long.
“HarmanPreet fell on a fluctuation upside down on Saturday while using a guide to the third man.” Nonsense shots need to be avoided.
There are other ways to play strikes rather than guiding it to the third man, “Shantha added.
