Mithali Raj becomes 01st woman cricketer to appear at 6 Cricket World Cups.

Indian women's cricket team skipper Mithali Raj on has became the first woman, and only the third cricketer ever, to appear at six ICC Women's Cricket World Cups.

She achived the feat during the opening match with Pakistan at the ICC Women's World Cup in New Zealand.

In doing so, Mithali ensured the record enters a new decade with former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad appeared in the first six Men's Cricket World Cups between 1975 and 1996 with Sachin Tendulkar beginning his World Cup career in 1992.

By the time Tendulkar's fairy-tale finish came in 2011, Mithali had already captained India at a World Cup after having made her tournament debut in 2000.
