India's women cricket captain Mithali Raj gave a befitting reply to an online user who trolled her for wishing fellow Indians Independence Day a day late.

Yesterday, Mithali, who is captaining India Blue in the ongoing Women's T20 Challenger Trophy in Bangalore, wrote, "Wishing India, freedom from hunger, poverty, discrimination, sexism, abuse & greed. We have had 72 years to build ourselves in the manner we want to be defined. Are we close? Lives were lost so we could breathe free. Let's honour those sacrifices. Jai Hind."
