Towards the end of her career, Mithali had been in form longer than some of her teammates had been alive :) That's how long she served Indian cricket. Congratulations and thank you @M_Raj03. Good luck for your second innings 🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/dQYTP8fMxd

Similarities
MS Dhoni and Mithali Raj:
- Captained most matches for India
- Last international match in recent ODI World Cup
- Both score a fifty then
- But India lost that match and out of World Cup
- Both retire later without a farewell
