Mithali Raj's T20 strike-rate has always provided fodder for her critics but what India's ODI skipper can't fathom as to how some of the players with worse strike-rate never come under scanner like her. Still coming to terms with the biggest controversy in women's cricket involving her, former coach Ramesh Powar and CoA member Diana Edulji, whom she accused of trying to finish her career.

However Mithali feels that she has always been unfairly targeted despite some of the other players also coming cropper in shorter formats. "In the first game [of Women's T20 Challenge], there were a couple of players whose strike rate was below 100. Was it made an issue? No. Because it doesn't come in the radar because it is not Mithali Raj," Mithali told 'Cricbuzz' in an interview. However without naming young Jemimah Rodrigues, Mithali pointed out at a top-order player, who had a strike of 50 against England. While Mithali didn't name the young Mumbaikar, but she had scored 11 off 22 balls in the T20 game against England which India lost narrowly.
