Mithali Raj, who has been playing for two decades, believes that things for women's cricket changed after last year's World Cup. India ended as a runner up in the Women's World Cup when they were defeated by hosts England in the final.
"It hasn't been very easy to take up a sport which was a very male-dominant sport back then in the 90s," Mithali, who made her ODI debut in 1999, said after the launch of UN Women's Mujhe Haq Hai anthem in Mumbai.
