Mithali Raj donned a saree for a promotional campaign ahead of the women's day 2020. But what makes it interesting is that, the former Indian women's T20I captain played cricket while donning the saree. On Sunday, March 08, International Women's Day will be celebrated. The video was shared by Mastercard India on Twitter. Mithali can be seen playing a range of strokes while sporting full cricket gear. The video was shared after India women's team under Harmanpreet Kaur qualified for their first-ever T20 World Cup final. Harmanpreet Kaur All Set to Become First Cricketer to Captain a Team in World Cup Final on Birthday As India Qualifies for ICC T20 WC 2020 Grand Finale.

Meanwhile, Mastercard India congratulated Indian women's cricket team while posting the video of Mithali playing cricket in saree and wrote "Congratulations to the Women's Cricket Team of #India on reaching the T20 World Cup finals!
