Indian women’s cricket team skipper Mithali Raj, on Wednesday retired from international cricket. While Laxman termed Mithali a “pillar to Women’s Cricket in India”, Jaffer wished the batter all the luck for the second innings.

“To play for India is a dream very few fulfill and to be able to represent the nation for 23 years is just amazing. You have been a pillar to Women’s Cricket in India and have shaped the lives of many young girls.Many congratulations on a phenomenal career,” Laxman tweeted.

“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,” Jaffer tweeted.
