Mithali is a cool captain who doesn’t let anxiety or pressure overcome her. It was proved once again when she was waiting for her turn to bat in the India-England match.

Normally, a player waits anxiously looking at the ongoing match if he/she is the next to bat; however, Mithali chose to read a book while waiting for her turn which implicitly explains her cool quotient.
