Mithali Raj posts #ThrowbackThursday pic, faces Twitter fury for 'inappropriate dressing'

Mithali Raj might be a rockstar on the pitch. But that didn't stop a few people from outraging when the cricketer recently shared a picture on Twitter.

Twitterati, in all its might, began trolling the captain of the Indian Women's cricket team when she posted a throwback image on Wednesday. The image was that of Raj with her gang of girls captioned, "#tb #PostShootSelfie #funtimes #girlstakeover."

This is not the first time that Raj has been body-shamed. A few weeks ago, she was slammed for sweating in a group picture. Soon after, the 34-year-old hit back at the regressive mindset of people.
