Independence day is just around the corner! While we, in the usual grind of life, view it as just another holiday to loosen the corporate cuffs, children fortunately still get to bask in the jubilee it is! Thanks to school competitions, elocutions, fancy dress events, and more.
While we are still at that; I can hardly describe my feelings (cue: a deadly dose of nostalgia) when I think of fancy dress competitions, back in the days, that allowed me to be anything I wanted to be! No, that’s not the story…
The good news is a little girl from Gujarat decided to dress up as Mithali Raj, the captain of Indian women cricket team! Her father, Apoorva Ekbote, recently took to Twitter and shared a small clip of the ‘Junior Mithali.’Â
Dress up as any national leader for school event. Our very own Captain of Indian cricket team @M_Raj03 to inspire my daughter.. #MithaliRaj pic.twitter.com/8PIZcTsL3b

Isn’t she just adorable?
Now, thanks to social media, the tweet reached Mithali Raj and her reply was everything.Â
This is cute! 😀
May she achieve her endeavours in all the spheres of life! https://t.co/FKJRvWirDi— Mithali Raj (@M_Raj03) August 10, 2017
And Mithali wasn’t the only one. The little girl is melting hearts everywhere on the internet.Â

3. How dope is that?
American here with no idea of cricket, but Mithali Raj is my fave player too! She reads poetry before games!

Thank you Apoorva. Mithali and co have rejuvenated a new sense of dreams in young girls. May your daughter achieve all the success.

Now you get it? The power of playing dress-up?
Also–in case it wasn’t clear–this is a beautiful way to cement the notion that the country and its people celebrate women sports and cricket is not limited to men’s team anymore!
