The Gujarat Giants tweeted a video of former Indian captain Mithali Raj dancing to the popular Sri Lankan song “Manike Mage Hithe” in advance of the much-anticipated Women’s Premier League’s inaugural season beginning on Saturday, March 4. Raj is serving as the team’s mentor.

Hurley Gala and Shabnam Shakil, two Indian pacers, are with Mithali in the video.

When you realise it’s #WPL month, the video stated.

While some supporters reacted to the former captain’s dance, others expressed sadness that Mithali would no longer be playing cricket.

A supporter commented, “Mithali should have played this WPL man,”

We wish you luck in the 2023 WPL, but Mithali Raj, we really miss you on the field.

A third person responded, “Multi-talented captain,” She is the cricket goddess, a fantastic commentator, and a mentor right now.

At the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday, the Beth Mooney-led Gujarat Giants will play the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians in their league debut.

Gujarat Giants Squad: Beth Mooney (Captain), Sneh Rana (Vice-Captain), Ashleigh Gardner, Sophia Dunkley, Annabel Sutherland, Harleen Deol, Deandra Dottin, S Meghana, Georgia Wareham, Mansi Joshi, Dayalan Hemalatha, Monica Patel, Tanuja Kanwer, Sushma Verma, Hurley Gala, Ashwani Kumari, Parunika Sisodia, Shabman Shakil.
