In June of last year, the graceful right-hander announced her retirement from all forms of cricket, but she hasn\u2019t ruled out playing in the Women\u2019s IPL. In 89 T20Is for India, Mithali amassed 2,364 runs at an average of 37.52.<\/p>\n<p>The first game of the WIPL will take place in March 2023 as the competition begins following tremendous demand. Notably, Viacom 18 paid a staggering INR 951 crore for the media rights to the competition for the 2023\u20132027 cycle. The 40-year-old has said that she would adore participating in the first tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m keeping that option open. I\u2019ve not yet decided. There are a few more months to go before the women\u2019s IPL happens. It would be lovely to be part of the first edition of the women\u2019s IPL,\u201d she said during ICC\u2019s 100% Cricket podcast with Isha Guha and Frankie Mackay.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mithali Raj, a former captain of India, has hinted that she might come out of retirement to participate in the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":28232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3223,937],"class_list":["post-5268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-bcci-women","tag-mithali-raj"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
