The film revolves around the journey of Mithali Raj from being an 8-year-old kid with a dream to become a cricketing legend. Pannu took to her social media and announced the trailer release date along with a new poster of the film.

Tapsee Pannu, reportedly trained under Nooshin Al Khadeer, a former cricketer and a friend of Mithali to get the character right.

From practising cover drive to getting comfortable in cricketing gear- here’s how Taapsee Pannu transformed into Mithali Raj.

Taapsee Pannu’s caption can be seen as her reply to the recent Income Tax Department raid at her house which she had earlier called an attempt to silence her.

“I have lost count of Mithali’s landmark achievements,” exclaimed Taapsee Pannu, talking about the Indian skipper, who on Sunday became the first woman cricketer to score 7,000 runs in ODIs during the fourth match against South Africa Women.

“It’s truly an honour to play the role of India’s most successful captain where Women’s Cricket is concerned,” Taapsee said.
