Mithali Raj hits twitter troll for a six with perfect response who questioned her over late Independence Day message

Wishing India, freedom from hunger, poverty, discrimination, sexism, abuse & greed. We have had 72 years to build ourselves in the manner we want to be defined. Are we close? Lives were lost so we could breathe free. Let's honour those sacrifices. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳

Mithali Raj was quick in her response and she shut him down by saying that she was busy playing Challengers Trophy and the phone is not allowed to use on and off the field.

In her reply to the user she wrote- "I'm honored that you think I'm a celebrity. I'm merely an athlete on national duty since 1999. We have the challengers trophy going on and I don't have the phone with me on the field or off it on Match days. Hope that's a good enough reason for the delay? Happy Independence Day".

Your reason is completely justified. But you need not justify yourself. We understand and respect your commitment towards Cricket. You can just ignore such comments and focus on game. But again these are just my views, you can ignore these as well 🙂. Happy Independence Day. 🙏
