Indian women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj, has revealed that dancing was her first choice and not cricket. In fact, cricket was her father's decision, while her mother wanted her to be a dancer. Raj, 35, shared this information on internet show, Breakfast with Champions, which is hosted by Gaurav Kapur.

"It was my dad's decision to put me into cricket. My mother did not want me to be a cricketer. She wanted me to be a dancer. I started dance much before I got into cricket and it was something of my own choice. I wanted to be a dancer," Raj said on the show.
