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.

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.
