Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a glowing tribute to former India women’s cricket captain, Mithali Raj, who announced retirement from all forms of cricket recently, said that her success was beyond statistics and records.
“You are a trend-setter, an athlete who has broken many a glass ceiling and a phenomenal source of motivation for others,” Mr. Modi said in a letter to the City-based Mithali.
“Hundreds of young cricketers, across men and women cricket, have found in you, their inspiration and role model. Millions of people across the world, irrespective of region or nation, have enjoyed your stylish and precise stroke-play,” the Prime Minister said.
