Mithali Raj, who lead the Indian team to the 2017 World Cup final which they lost to England, has been struggling for well over 11 years to get the plot of land (500 square yards) which was promised to her by the erstwhile government of late YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Post the stupendous show by the Indian women in this year's World Cup, couple of state governments have offered goodies for their players. However, there has been a chilling silence in the power corridors of the Telangana government. Barring a congratulatory message from Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on the team reaching the final, the government has shown no inclination to honour its 'daughter of the soil.' What is jarring is the fact that the state had lavished its goodies on other star players like Sania Mirza and PV Sindhu but has completely ignored the exploits of Mithali, who has been scaling new peaks each season.
