Mithali Raj
Person
Born
Women's Tests are rare, which makes each one a test of patience with little match practice. Mithali Raj's 214 against England at Taunton in 2002, in English conditions at the age of 19, was then the highest score in women's Test cricket. Her long career, mostly in one-day cricket, rested on the same temperament: a compact defence and the will to bat for hours.
