"Read Rumi in the dugout, create history"

India are playing a crunch game against Australia. A game that's more or less dictated by the tunes of nerves. But, when Mithali raj came onto bat in the fourth over, there was a nonchalant approach in the way she tackled the first ball. As described in our ball-by-ball coverage: "Stands like the boss she's and punches out a defence from the crease." After registering her first golden duck in international cricket in the last game, Mithali moseyed her way to a champion fifty - her 49th - achieving quite a few memorable records while at it.

The 34-year old had the Twitterverse buzzing after becoming the leading run-scorer in the history of Women's ODI cricket; and to add cherry on the icing, she nailed a six over long-off to claim 6,000 ODI runs - the first player to get there in Women's cricket.
