Mithali Raj, the captain of Indian women cricket team, is the new Captain Cool. Be it her calm, composed self that speaks volumes about her sportsman spirit or her brazen candour to tackle double standard (and sexist questions), Mithali has been there and done it all.
How can I say that? Well, you’ll see.
It so happened that Mithali Raj took to Twitter to share a moment from her glorious day.
What a momentous day today was, standing with these special women!!@MabenMaben @AlNooshin @vedakmurthy08 pic.twitter.com/EsNwRN2G7N

While it looks like the ‘Captain Cool’ had a ball with some fine women of cricket, a Twitter troll tried to shame Mithali for her sweaty armpits.

But the woman of the hour is not one to sit and sulk. She took down the hater and how!

“I m where I m because I sweated it out on the field! I see no reason 2 b ashamed f it.”

2. Well put.
Well said Mithali. It's the glamour and glitz which people talk about but few know the pain it took to get there.
