The powerful sporting icon has making frequent headlines this year. She captained the team to the World Cup final in England.

In fact, Raj has been the backbone of Indian women’s cricket. She led the team to two World Cup finals. The 2017 Women’s World Cup in England was India’s best performance ever under Raj’s guidance. Arguably, she has put Indian women’s cricket on the centre stage.
