Mithali Raj, who became the first female cricketer to play 200 ODIs, has said that it 'feels nice to come so far' but believes that '200 is just a number'.

The 36-year-old made her international debut two decades back and has been at the centre of women cricket's evolution over the years.

“I have seen different stages of (transformation) in women’s cricket across the globe since I made my debut way back in 1999 under IWCC (International Women’s Cricket Council). Coming under ICC, we could see the difference".

"I am just happy to represent the country for so long,” she said after reaching the milestone during her side's series win against the White Ferns.
