World Cup after first featuring in the showpiece 22 years ago, Mithali Raj feels her career has come full circle with only the dream of holding the "elusive" trophy remaining unfulfilled. Raj was a part of the Indian team that played in the 2000 World Cup in New Zealand and more than two decades later, she is returning to the same country, this time as the captain. In between, she had also faced the heartbreak of losing in the summit clash to England in the 2017 edition, besides being a member of the team that ended second in 2005. "I have come a long way from the 2000 World Cup, that also in New Zealand. I missed (matches of) that World Cup because of typhoid and here I am. It has come full circle and I am looking forward to finishing the journey," Raj said in a video posted by the ICC.
