While sharing the picture, she wrote, “Let’s start this now! For the skipper @ Mithali Raj # Shabaash Mithu.”

Speaking about her training regimen, Taapsee shared, “I’ve never played the game before, have just been a spectator and a hyper ventilating fan of the game. Being on the other side is going to be a huge challenge I’ve thrown at myself. But I feel pressure brings out the best in me. This is probably that one common trait I can identify between me and Mithali.”
