A title holder of many firsts, captain of the Indian women's cricket team Mithali Raj caught the attention of producers Viacom 18, who pursued her for the creation of a biopic last year. Ahead of the casting process for her part, Raj tells mid-day that she already has a name on her mind.

"I think Priyanka Chopra will be a great choice [to play me in the biopic]. Our personalities match a lot," says the sports person, quick to add that she's happy to leave the final decision in the hands of the makers. "I am not a movie buff, so I'd love the experts to do their job," she reasons. Like former cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was when a film on him was in the works, Raj too is actively helping the makers acquire the required details about her life.
