The biopic is directed by Srijit Mukherji and written by Priya Aven.
The trailer begins with Taapsee Pannu, who plays Mithali Raj, hitting sixes and fours with a crowd cheering in the background for India.
It goes on to show the story of a young Raj and her interest in cricket right from childhood.
The trailer follows her journey of practising on the grounds, to playing matches, and eventually becoming the captain of Team India.

Mithali Raj announced her retirement from all forms of international cricket earlier this month, and called it the “perfect time to call curtains” on her sports career.
She took to Twitter to announce her decision and wrote, “Each event taught me something unique and the last 23 years have been the most fulfilling, challenging & enjoyable years of my life. Like all journeys, this one too must come to an end. Today is the day I retire from all forms of International Cricket.”
Thank you for all your love & support over the years!
I look forward to my 2nd innings with your blessing and support. pic.twitter.com/OkPUICcU4u— Mithali Raj (@M_Raj03) June 8, 2022
