India’s ODI skipper Mithali Raj on Saturday broke the record for most matches captained in the ICC Women’s World Cup, surpassing former Australian counterpart Belinda Clark.


Mithali, 39, led the country in 24 World Cup games, claiming 14 victories, eight losses and one no result. Clark had captained her side in 23 matches.


The India skipper achieved the feat when she stepped out to lead the country against the West Indies here.
