After the successful biopic of former captains MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, soon viewers will see the biopic of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team captain, Mithali Raj on the silver screen.

Making the announcement, Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, said, “Viacom18 Motion Pictures has always been the pioneer in showcasing content with the portrayal of strong women characters right from Queen to Kahani to Mary Kom.

We are proud to be collaborating with the young and inspirational Mithali Dorai Raj, a name single-handedly responsible in bringing about change in the way women’s cricket team was perceived in our country.

Speaking about the venture, Mithali Raj said, “I am extremely happy on this association with Viacom18 Motion Pictures.
Hoping that this movie inspires more people especially young girls to take up sports as a career.

” With a phenomenal record of being the highest run scorer in One Day Internationals averaging above 51, the captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, Mithali Raj has had a remarkable journey on the field.

Mithali Raj is the highest run-scorer in women's international cricket and the only woman cricketer to surpass the 6,000 run mark in ODIs.
She is also the first player to score 7 consecutive 50s in ODIs.

Raj is the first Indian to have lead the national team to an ICC ODI World Cup final twice - 2005 and 2017.
