Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], January 30<\/strong>: Adani Sportsline, the development of the sports arm of the Adani Group, has appointed Mithali Raj, former captain of the Indian women\u2019s national cricket team, as mentor and advisor for the Gujarat Giants, ahead of the inaugural season of the Women\u2019s Premier League which will take place in March-April 2023.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Mithali\u2019s trailblazing achievements and contributions to Indian cricket have not only earned her numerous awards and accolades but have also played a key role in bringing women\u2019s cricket into the limelight, both on national and international platforms.<\/p>\n

As a mentor and advisor, Mithali will also promote women\u2019s cricket and help develop the sport at the grassroots level in Gujarat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inaugural season of the Women\u2019s Premier League is a fantastic move for women\u2019s cricket, and the involvement of the Adani Group is a massive boost for the sport as well,\u201d said Ms Mithali Raj, ex-Skipper of the Indian Women\u2019s National Cricket Team<\/strong>. \u201cWomen\u2019s cricket is growing steadily, and this kind of impetus will undoubtedly encourage young women to consider taking up cricket professionally. I believe that the high-impact participation of corporates will help hasten the process of eventually bringing more glory to India. This level of influence can help strengthen the sporting ecosystem and enhance opportunities for women athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMithali Raj is a role model for the young generation, and we are delighted to have such an inspirational athlete on board to mentor our women\u2019s cricket team,\u201d said Mr Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises<\/strong>. \u201cWhile we have supported many other women players in different sports through our \u2018Garv Hai\u2019 initiative, this is the first time the Adani Group has ventured into women\u2019s cricket, and we are privileged to be able to promote women in sports through the inaugural Women\u2019s Premier League. We believe that the presence of international sporting heroes like Mithali will attract new talent not just into cricket but also into every other sport and transform the professional sports ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acknowledged as one of the greatest female cricketers of all time, Mithali Raj opened her ODI career with a rare accomplishment \u2013 a century on debut. Mithali is the highest run-scorer in women\u2019s ODIs and has scored 17 half-centuries in her T20Is. The highly acclaimed cricketer captained India in the 2017 Women\u2019s ODI Cricket World Cup, where India finished runners-up. She was also part of the Indian team that made it to the semi-finals of the 2018 ICC Women\u2019s World T20, held in the West Indies.<\/p>\n

Adani Sportsline also manages teams in Kabaddi, Kho Kho, and men\u2019s cricket, as well as the annual Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, an event organized in solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
