I think the one position India needs to improve is the No. 3 batting position: Mithali Raj
Let’s know what Mithali said Mithali Raj (Image Source: Twitter) The Indian women’s cricket team has lost to Sri Lanka by 8 runs in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024. On the other hand, after this defeat, a big statement has come from the former captain of the team, Mithali Raj. It is worth noting that after the Women’s Asia Cup, now the Indian team has to participate in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in October. So before the start of this multi-nation tournament, a big statement of Mithali Raj has come out. Mithali says that the area where the Indian team has to work before this big tournament is the number 3 batting position. Mithali Raj’s big statement came out Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Star Sports, the former veteran batsman said – India is going to participate in the biggest ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in October. I think the area India should really focus on improving is the number 3 batsman position. They are still looking for the right batsman to go at number 3. They have tried D Hemalatha at this order and they have tried Uma Chhetri. Mithali further said- But ideally, this number should have such a batsman who can take forward the great start given by Shefali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. Also, the team needs to focus on other aspects of bowling, as this team is playing with only 5 bowlers. They probably need a sixth bowler, someone like an all-rounder who can bowl a few overs as well as bat. I think these are the areas India should improve on before taking part in the T20 World Cup.

A comparison with Fitzpatrick brought about a big change in Bolton’s game, about which she has now made a big statement. Nicole Bolton gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, while recalling a cruel comparison of her former coach Cathryn Fitzpatrick, Nicole Bolton said on the Stories After Stumps podcast – I was trying to impress her (Cathryn Fitzpatrick) with my game for a long time. I wanted him to see me playing. I remember that time he called me to his office and said- Tell me honestly, do you want to become Mithali Raj of the Australian cricket team? I said- Why Mithali Raj? Bolton further said- Because you want to touch a strike rate of 50. If you make 100 or 100 runs in 150 balls, but still the team loses, then it does not mean anything. After this I said- what a thing, Fitzpatrick sees my game like this. This game was not good for me, because if he sees me playing like this, then my cricket career will be cut short. Let us tell you that this conversation of Fitzpatrick had a great impact on Bolton, which was also seen in his next few innings. In his next match, Bolton scored 170 runs in 156 balls, which included 24 boundaries.
