Skipper Mithali Raj becomes the only Indian cricketer to score 7 consecutive ODI fifties shattering the world record.
The second highest run scorer in the world of women's cricket, Mithali Raj, added another feather to her illustrious cap on Saturday, by scoring an unbeaten 71 to take the Women in Blue over the line against England in the ongoing Women's Cricket World Cup.
Mithali became the first woman cricketer to clinch seven consecutive 50-plus scores in the format; a feat no Indian player, male or female, has ever achieved in the history of the game.
Rahul Dravid's five consecutive ODI fifties is the best among Indian cricketers; he stands at 16 in the all-time list of cricketers to have scored most consecutive fifties.
Pakistani legend Javed Miandad tops the list with most number of back-to-back ODI fifties at nine. Mithali is just two fifties away from equalling Miandad's all-time-record.
