Today, Mithali Raj carved a new history in Women’s Cricket. By becoming the highest run-scorer in Women ODI matches, Mithali garnered appreciation from all around the country. She scored 6028 runs and beat Charlotte Edwards, who was on the first position, with 5992 runs.
Not only this, Mithali also became the first woman to cross the 6000 mark. The entire men’s cricket team congratulated her on Twitter and poured in good wishes. She completely deserved all this!
Among all of them was Virat Kohli, who not only wished Mithali on Twitter, but also posted a special message for her on Facebook. However, in this excitement, Virat didn’t realize that he made a big “Blunder” in his Facebook post.
He congratulated Mithali, but posted Poonam Raut’s pic. He wrote, “A great moment for Indian Cricket, Mithali Raj becomes the highest run scorer in Women’s ODI Cricket History today. Champion Stuff!”; Unfortunately, he didn’t cross-check the pic that he posted along with the message.
Here’s the screenshot of his FB post;

This was indeed a big mistake and he should have posted it carefully. But it’s rightly said, “Galti toh insaan se hi hoti hai”. Let us not criticize him as it was completely unintentional.
