Why Mithali Raj ranks #22 in Cricket
Mithali Raj ranks 22nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 221st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 86, Longevity 94, Honours 80, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1999–2022 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes odi runs 7805, international runs 10868, odi centuries 7, world cup finals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Charlotte Edwards on 87.0, a gap of 1.0 points. Directly behind is Meg Lanning on 88.7. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
