Taapsee will portray the role of Mithali Raj in the film Shabaash Mithu and the actress has just shared the first look poster from the film.

Taapsee Pannu shared the poster on Instagram and wrote, "'I have always been asked who's your favourite male cricketer but you should ask them who their favourite female cricketer is.' The statement that made every cricket lover pause and introspect that do they love the game or the gender playing it. Skipper, u will be the ultimate 'Game Changer' @mithaliraj"
