Indian women's team core member - Mithali Raj - has not only become a vital cog for the Indian batting line-up but is also one of the biggest names in international cricket.
Recently, the cricketer completed 20 years in international cricket during the recent ODI series against South Africa.
The on-field powerhouse has also been vocal and strong off-field. The ace cricketer's capabilities of shutting social media trolls have now come to the fore.
Mithali was criticised by a fan who believed the cricketer - who hails from a Tamil family - ignored her mother tongue and only spoke in English, Hindi, and Telugu.
Reading the comment sure gave Mithali a good chance to showcase her online skills.
1. 'Tamil is my mother tongue...I speak Tamil well,' Mithali said

"She doesn't know Tamil. She will speak in eng, Telugu, Hindi", tweeted the fan.
