She has served Indian cricket for 20 years. She scored runs. she won Player of the Match in both matches [against Ireland and Pakistan]. &quot;She was injured for one game but fit for the next game. Just convert this situation into the men&#39;s game. If you had a Virat Kohli who was injured for one game and is then fit for the knockout, will you leave him out?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;You have to pick your best player for the knockouts. You needed the experience and expertise of Mithali Raj.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gavaskar added that he did not agree with the reasons provided for Raj&#39;s omission.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They said they wanted to stick with the same team, I don&#39;t think that&#39;s a good enough excuse. You can&#39;t drop someone like Mithali Raj.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
