HYDERABAD: Mithali Raj's decision to retire may have shocked many of her fans but one person who is delighted with her decision is her mother Leela Raj.
"I don't know about the other members of the family, but I am very happy with the decision. I am tired because once a person goes to the top there is immense pressure and, definitely, I didn't want my daughter to go through it all. All memories go to the day when she started playing cricket. That time we never thought that she would reach such heights. It was just one step at a time. But in the last eight years I should say the pressures were on. It was a little bothersome and we needed to handle it properly. I think we handled it well," Leela Raj told ToI here on Wednesday.
